21.33.080 - Meaning of the Y/AP and Y/C designations.
A. This Section applies to those use categories in Table 33-2 classified as "Y/AP" and "Y/C" within specified industrial districts. "Y/AP" shall mean that the use is permitted by right unless the location criteria contained in Subsection 21.33.080.C apply to the project, in which case administrative use permit (AP) review shall be required pursuant to Chapter 21.25, Division IV of this Title. "Y/C" shall mean a use is permitted by right unless the location criteria contained in Subsection 21.33.080.C apply to the project, in which case conditional use permit (C) review shall be required pursuant to Chapter 21.25, Division II of this Title.
B. The Zoning Administrator shall be authorized to determine whether a use identified in Table 33-2 as "Y/AP" or "Y/C" is permitted by right or requires discretionary review based on the criteria defined in this Section.
C. The location of a proposed industrial use relative to residentially-zoned property shall represent the sole factor for determining whether discretionary review is required pursuant to this Section. If any building housing the principal proposed use in an industrial district, or any outdoor activity which represents the principal use of the property, is located three hundred feet (300′) or less from the nearest residential district (see Figure 33-1), then administrative use permit or conditional use permit review shall be required, as indicated in Table 33-2.

The SIC uses are considered here primarily according to the operational characteristics involved in creating the product (e.g., slaughtering, manufacturing pulp, manufacturing industrial inorganic chemicals, petroleum refining) and the effects that these operations may have on nearby uses. The actual product created is of secondary importance. The requirement for a conditional use permit does not presuppose that a proposed use will present adverse impacts, but that the public should be informed of the proposed use and be given the opportunity to comment on the proposal at a public hearing.
