regulations focus on the form of development, the manner in which buildings are oriented toward
public spaces, the scale of development, and the interaction of uses within the city.
B. Allowed Uses: Land uses shall be allowed as a permitted or conditional use based
on the land use tables for each listed district in Chapter 21A.33.

1. Accessory Uses and Structures: Accessory uses and structures shall be allowed
subject to the requirements of 21A.36.020, 21A.36.030, and 21A.40 of this title and
any other provisions that specifically applies to accessory uses and structures that
may be found in this title.
2. Obnoxious or Offensive Uses: No use of land shall be permitted which creates a
nuisance by reason of odor, dust, smoke, vapors, noise, light, vibration or refuse
matter. Any nuisance shall be considered a violation of this title.
