D. Classification of New and Unlisted Uses
The following procedure shall apply if an application is submitted for a use type that is not specifically listed in Table 3.1. Submission and approval of such an application shall be required prior to approval of any other permit or development approval associated with the use.
(1) Director Determination of Appropriate Use Type
The Director shall determine the appropriate use type for the proposed use. In making such determination, the Director shall consider the potential impacts of the proposed use including the nature of the use and whether it includes dwellings, sales, processing, or storage; and typical operations, employment characteristics, nuisances, requirements for public utilities, and transportation requirements.
(2) Uses and Use-Specific Standards Requiring a Code Text Amendment
In making a determination on a new or unlisted use, the Director may determine that such new or unlisted use requires a text amendment of this Code. The Director may also determine that Code text amendments for additional use-specific standards are necessary to reduce potential impacts to surrounding properties or the community. Code text amendments shall follow the procedures in Section 8.6.C.
(3) Appeal of Director’s Determination
An appeal of the Director’s determination shall be made pursuant to the procedures in Section 8.8.D, Appeal.
