§ 20.08.030. Permissible uses.

A.

The zoning districts described in this chapter group together those uses that are reasonably compatible with one another according to their normal characteristics of operation in order to achieve the following:

1.

To permit, in connection with these uses, those customary and necessary accessory activities that are incidental to the principal use;

2.

To permit certain other uses that may be established in some situations and subject to specific conditions so that such special uses will also be compatible with the uses allowed;

3.

To promote orderly, timely, economical growth and to recognize current land use conditions;

4.

To provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for development to meet the present and future growth needs of the city, with allowance for diversity of sites;

5.

To protect use areas, as far as possible, against heavy and unnecessary through traffic;

6.

To protect use areas against pollution, environmental hazards and other objectionable influences;

7.

To protect use areas against congestion, as far as possible, by managing the density of population in and around them;

8.

To provide for privacy and access of light and air, as far as possible, through controls over the spacing and height of buildings and other structures;

9.

To promote the most appropriate use of land to achieve stability of development, to protect the character of the districts, to conserve the value of land and buildings, and to protect the tax base;

10.

To promote the most efficient use of public facilities and services;

11.

To protect against fire and explosions and other safety hazards;

12.

To provide for fire and other emergency access;

13.

To accommodate use activities and operations whose external physical effects are restricted to the area of the zoning district, and in no manner affect in a detrimental way any of the surrounding zoning districts.
