For unlisted and similar uses not regulated by a permit type, see Section 20.205.030.C (Unlisted and Similar Compatible Uses).

C. Unlisted or Similar Compatible Uses. Any land use not specifically listed in the permitted uses table of the applicable Zone shall be prohibited, except as modified by this section.
