(1) In the case of a question as to the inclusion or exclusion of a particular proposed use in a particular use category, the city planner shall have the authority to make the final determination. The city planner shall make the determination according to the characteristics of the operation of the proposed use.

EXAMPLES: A large sales office where business is conducted by telephone on the premises and where no goods other than samples come onto or go off of the premises, is an office rather than a retail or wholesale use. A shop selling items which are manufactured on the premises and the manufacturing process is not detectable from outside the building where the manufacturing occurs and the process requires no heavy trucking, is a retail use, not a manufacturing use.

(2) Unless otherwise identified in the Use Chart, Section 17.70.030 or elsewhere in this Title, the uses listed in the Use Chart are principal uses. In the case of a home occupation, defined in Chapter 17.55 as an accessory use of a dwelling unit, any business may be conducted so long as it complies with the standards set forth in Chapter 17.55. For example, a barber and beauty shop, as the principal use of a property, may operate only in commercial zone districts; however, a home occupation that provides barber and beauty shop services may operate in any residential zone district if said services meet the criteria established in Chapter 17.55.

(3) Appeal. Any aggrieved person may appeal a determination made by the city planner regarding the Use Chart, Section 17.70.030 to the hearing examiner as provided in Chapter 17.185. (Ord. 22-2 §8, 2022; Ord. 05-12 §1, 2005; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).
