(2) To protect the general public health, safety, and welfare;

(3) To implement the City of Woodinville Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies through land use regulations;

(6) To promote general public safety by regulating development of lands containing physical hazards and to minimize the adverse environmental impacts of development. (Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.02.040 Conformity with this title required.

(1) No use or structure shall be established, substituted, expanded, constructed, altered, moved, maintained, or otherwise changed except in conformance with this title.

(1) In case of inconsistency or conflict, regulations, conditions or procedural requirements that are specific to an individual land use shall supersede regulations, conditions or procedural requirements of general application.

(2) A land use includes the necessary structures to support the use unless specifically prohibited or the context clearly indicates otherwise, subject to other standards in code and any required permits for structures.

(3) Chapter and section headings, captions, illustrations and references to other sections or titles are for reference or explanation only and shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify, or in any manner affect the scope, meaning, or intent of any section. In case of any ambiguity, difference of meaning or implication between the text and any heading, caption or illustration, the text and the permitted use tables in Chapter 21.08 WMC shall control. All applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in a text section or land use table.

(4) The word “shall” is mandatory and the word “may” is discretionary.

(5) Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, words in the present tense shall include past and future tense, and words in the singular shall include the plural, or vice versa. Except for words and terms defined in this title, all words and terms used in this title shall have their customary meanings. (Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.02.070 Interpretation – North American Industrial Classification System.

(1) All references to the North America Industrial Classification System (NAICS) are to the titles and descriptions found in the North America Industrial Classification System, 2002 Edition, prepared by the United States Office of Management and Budget which is hereby adopted by reference. The NAICS is used, with modifications to suit the purposes of this title, to list and define land uses authorized to be located in the various zones.

(2) The NAICS categorizes each land use under a general two-digit major group number, or under a more specific five- or six-digit industry group or industry number. A use shown on a land use table with a two-digit number includes all uses listed in the SIC for that major group. A use shown with a five-digit or six-digit number includes only the uses listed in the NAICS for that industry group or industry, respectively, and the uses so listed are excluded from the respective major group.

(3) An asterisk (*) in the NAICS number column of a land use table means that the NAICS definition for the specific land use identified has been modified by this title. The definition may include one or more NAICS subclassification numbers, or may define the use without reference to the NAICS.

(4) The Development Services Director shall determine whether a proposed land use not specifically listed in a land use table or specifically included within a NAICS classification is allowed in a zone. The Development Services Director’s determination shall be based on whether or not permitting the proposed use in a particular zone is consistent with the purposes of this title and the zone’s purpose as set forth in Chapter 21.04 WMC, by considering the following factors:

(a) The physical characteristics of the use and its supporting structures, including but not limited to scale, traffic and other impacts, and hours of operation;

(b) Whether or not the use complements or is compatible with other uses permitted in the zone; and

(c) The NAICS classification, if any, assigned to the business or other entity that will carry on the primary activities of the proposed use.

(5) The decision of the Development Services Director on an NAICS classification shall be final unless the applicant or an adverse party files an appeal to the Hearing Examiner pursuant to WMC 21.42.090. (Ord. 465 §§ 12, 27, 2008; Ord. 347 § 4, 2003; Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.02.080 Interpretation – Zoning maps.

Where uncertainties exist as to the location of any zone boundaries, the following rules of interpretation, listed in priority order, shall apply:

(1) Where boundaries are indicated as parallelling the approximate centerline of the street right-of-way, the zone shall extend to each adjacent boundary of the right-of-way. Non-road-related uses by adjacent property owners, if allowed in the right-of-way, shall meet the same zoning requirements regulating the property owners lot;

(2) Where boundaries are indicated as following approximately lot lines, the actual lot lines shall be considered the boundaries;

(3) Where boundaries are indicated as following lines of ordinary high water, or government meander line, the lines shall be considered to be the actual boundaries. If these lines should change the boundaries shall be considered to move with them; and

(4) If none of the rules of interpretation described in subsections (1) through (3) apply, then the zoning boundary shall be determined by map scaling. (Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.02.090 Administration and review authority.

(1) The Hearing Examiner shall have authority to hold public hearings and make decisions and recommendations on variances, reclassification, subdivisions and other development proposals, and appeals, as set forth in WMC.

(2) The Development Services Director shall have the authority to grant, condition or deny applications for temporary use permits, conditional use permits, and renewals of permits for mineral extraction and processing, unless a public hearing is required as set forth in Chapter 21.42 WMC, in which case this authority shall be exercised by the Hearing Examiner.

(3) The City Building Official shall have authority to grant, condition or deny commercial and residential building permits, and clearing and grading permits in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 21.42 WMC.

(4) Except for other agencies with authority to implement specific provisions of this title, the Development Services Director shall have the sole authority to issue official interpretations of this title.

(5) The Development Services Director is hereby authorized after July 14, 1997, to incorporate drawings as necessary for the purpose of illustrating concepts and regulatory standards contained in this title; provided, that the adopted provisions of the code shall control. (Ord. 465 § 27, 2008; Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.02.100 Severability.

Forest practice: any activity regulated by the Washington Department of Natural Resources in WAC Title 222 or Chapter 76.09 RCW for which a forest practice permit is required, together with fire prevention, detection and suppression; and slash burning or removal. The four classifications of forest practices activities described in WAC 222-16-050 are determined by considering several factors including but not limited to the type of activity proposed (e.g., harvesting, thinning, etc.), its scale, the affected environment, and future use of the site. The description of the classes of forest practices paraphrased below are intended to summarize the classification and do not supersede the specific definitions described in Chapter 222-16 WAC and Chapter 76.09 RCW:

(1) Class I are those minor forest practices that have no direct potential for damaging a public resource. Examples of Class I forest practices include timber harvests on parcels where contiguous ownership is less than two acres in size that are not within a shoreline designation or UGA, and none of the operation takes place within the riparian management zone of a Type 2 or 3 water, or within the ordinary high water mark of a Type 4 water or flowing Type 5 water (see Chapter 222-16 WAC for definitions of water types); the culture and harvest of Christmas trees and seedlings; tree planting and seeding; and cutting and/or removal of less than 5,000 board feet of timber for personal

use (e.g., firewood, fence post, etc.) in any consecutive 12-month period. Class I forest practices do not require approval of a permit by DNR.

(2) Class II are those forest practices which have less than an ordinary potential for damaging a public resource. Examples of Class II forest practices include the construction of advance fire trails; timber harvests of less than 40 acres; and the partial cutting of 40 percent or less of the live timber volume on a site. Class II forest practices require notification to DNR prior to being conducted; they do not require an application. Property logged pursuant to a Class II permit must be reforested and is intended to remain in timber production.

(3) Class III are those forest practices not listed under Class I, II, and IV. Class III forest practices require approval by the DNR. Property logged pursuant to a Class III permit must be reforested and is intended to remain in timber production.

(4) Class IV forest practices are divided into two categories as follows:

(a) Class IV – General are those forest practices occurring on lands within urban growth areas; lands platted after January 1, 1960, or on lands which are being converted to a use other than commercial timber production. Examples of Class IV – General forest practices include harvest of timber and conversion of land to residential or commercial uses. Reforestation is not required under Class IV – General forest practices permit as the property subject to the permit is being converted to a non-forestry use. All Class IV – General forest practices are considered conversion forest practices.

(b) Class IV – Special are those forest practices which have the potential to result in a substantial impact to the environment. Examples of Class IV – Special forest practices include practices conducted on lands designated as critical wildlife habitat for threatened or endangered wildlife species; timber harvest in national, State, or local parks; and forest practices involving the filling or draining of more than 0.5 acres of wetland. Class IV – Special forest practices include two subcategories: conversion and nonconversion. Class IV – Special conversion forest practices include those practices, which result in the conversion of timber land to a nonforestry use, such as residential, commercial or industrial. Class IV – Special nonconversion forest practices include those practices that will result in uses of the property consistent with timber growing.

The use of a property is defined by the activity for which the building or lot is intended, designed, arranged, occupied, or maintained. The use is considered permanently established when that use will or has been in continuous operation for a period exceeding 60 days. A use which will operate for less than 60 days is considered a temporary use, and subject to the requirements of Chapter 21.32 WMC. All applicable requirements of this code, or other applicable State or Federal requirements, shall govern a use located in the City of Woodinville. (Ord. 324 § 1, 2002; Ord. 304 § 1, 2001; Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)

21.08.020 Interpretation of land use tables.

(1) The land use tables in this chapter determine whether a specific use is allowed in a zone district. The zone district is located on the vertical column and the specific use is located on the horizontal row of these tables.

(4) If the letter “C” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is allowed subject to the conditional use review procedures specified in Chapter 21.42 WMC and the general requirements of the code.

(5) If the letter “S” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the regional use is permitted subject to the special use permit review procedures specified in Chapter 21.42 WMC and the general requirements of the code.

(6) If a number appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use may be allowed subject to the appropriate review process indicated above, the general requirements of the code and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition with the corresponding number immediately following the land use table.

(7) If more than one letter-number combination appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is allowed in that zone subject to different sets of limitation or conditions depending on the review process indicated by the letter, the general requirements of the code and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition with the corresponding number immediately following the table.

(8) All applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in a section.

(9) Only public parks or recreational facilities shall be allowed to locate in the Park zone (P). (Ord. 324 § 1, 2002; Ord. 304 § 1, 2001; Ord. 175 § 1, 1997)
