§ 9-24.030. Residential and Open Space District Land Uses and Permit Requirements

A.

Table 2-2 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Development Code in the residential and open space zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Chapter 9-22 (Land Use Permit Requirements). Regardless of the permit requirement established by Table 2-2, Planned Development Permit (Section 9-52.050) approval is also required for all construction of new residential units.

Note: Where the last column in the tables ("Specific Use Regulations") includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this Development Code may also apply.

B.

Specific Plan (SP) Land Use Designations and Zoning Districts: Allowable land uses within Specific Plans shall be determined by the applicable specific plan, except that commercial nonmedicinal and medicinal cannabis uses, operations, and activities, including cultivation, dispensaries, distribution, deliveries, manufacturing, processing, microbusinesses, storing, laboratory testing, packaging, labeling, and transportation facilities are prohibited uses in the City (refer to Chapter 5-41 for Nonmedicinal and Medicinal Cannabis Standards).
