City Council Chambers Beginning at 6:00 p.m.
All public is invited to attend.
15.05.025 Land use districts —Established, definitions.
(a) Established. The City is hereby divided into land use districts which shall be bounded and defined as shown
on the official land use map. This official map, together with all explanatory matter thereon, as exhibited at
the time of public hearing, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
(b) Definitions —Purpose.
(1) Rural residential district (RR). Intended to provide for stable, quiet, low density (one or two dwelling
units per acre) detached single-family residential development, free from other uses except those
which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district including recreational,
religious and educational facilities of an appropriate scale and design complementary to the
neighborhood character.
(2) Single-family residential district (R1). Intended to provide for stable and quiet low to medium density
(one to five dwelling units per acre) detached, single-family residential development, free from other
uses except those which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district.
(3) Two-family residential district (R2). Medium density (one to seven dwelling units per acre) transitional
housing area with a mix of single and two-family units, free from other uses except those which are
both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district.
(4) Multi -family residential district (R3). Intended to provide opportunities for a higher density residential
setting with a mix of housing units which are predominately multi -family units close to concentrations
of public services, employment and/or recreation. This district may provide a transition between more
intensive districts and lower density residential areas if sufficient screening and design features are
provided to protect multi -family residences from undesirable effects.
(5) Urban residential district (UR). Intended to allow an area of higher density mixed residential uses from
detached single-family housing to multi -family apartments in conjunction with compatible low impact
professional office uses in the area surrounding the downtown business district.
(6) Office/residential district (OR). Intended to provide for medium density residential, commercial and
office development designed to act as a transition zone between the high density central business
district and surrounding medium -high density residential districts.
(7) Harbor commercial district (HC). Provides an area for water -dependent or water -related uses with
particular emphasis on transportation, tourist, recreational, commercial or industrial enterprises which
derive major economic or social benefit from a harbor location.
(8) Auto commercial district (AC). Intended to provide areas to accommodate highway -oriented
commercial activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail
uses requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and
nearby residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas.
(9) Central business district (CBD). Provides for an area of convenient, attractive, concentrated commercial
development primarily intended for retail, financial, entertainment and professional services occurring
within enclosed structures. Regulations applying to this zone are designed to encourage a compact
group of businesses of the type which are mutually beneficial and located close enough together to
encourage walk-in trade.
(10) Industrial district (1). Established as a district in which the principal use of land is for business,
manufacturing, processing, fabricating, repair, assembly, storage, wholesaling and distributing
operations, which may create some nuisance and which are not properly associated nor compatible

(Supp. No. 23-1)
with residential land uses. It is intended to provide environmental safeguards for people employed in
or visiting the district. Some visual amenity is expected in this district to make it compatible with
adjoining residential or business districts.
(11) Institutional district (INS). Public and private educational, administrative, government and health care
uses, including public land reserve for future public development. The development standards are
intended to set a high standard to assure that the activities provide visual amenity to the surrounding
area.
(12) Parks district (P). Is intended to designate park, recreation and commemorative property owned by the
City, state or federal governments for recreation and other compatible public purposes.
(13) Resource management district (RM). Lands which are generally undeveloped and cannot be precisely
zoned due to inadequate information on the extension of public services and utilities; the suitability of
the land to support commercial, residential, industrial or public uses; and other possible environmental
consideration.
(14) Historic Business District (HBD)
(Ord. 626, § 3, 1989: Ord. 649, § 2, 1991)
