“VA” Visitor accommodations;
“CT” Visitor serving uses and facilities;
“C-1” Neighborhood-serving, small-scale commercial services and retail uses;
“C-2” Community-serving, large-scale retail uses and small-scale commercial services;

(2) Principal permitted uses are all denoted as uses requiring a Level IV or lower Approval unless otherwise denoted with the letter “P” in the Commercial Uses Chart in subsection (b) of this section. In the Coastal Zone, actions to approve uses other than principal permitted uses are appealable to the Coastal Commission in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 13.20 of the County Code relating to Coastal Zone Permits, and in some cases, as provided in Chapter 13.20, any development is appealable.
(b) Allowed Uses.
(1) The uses allowed in the commercial districts shall be as provided in the following Commercial Uses Chart below. A discretionary approval for an allowed use is known as a “Use Approval” and is given as part of a “Development Permit” for a particular use. The type of permit processing review, or “Approval Level,” required for each use in each of the commercial zone districts is indicated in the chart. The processing procedures for Development Permits and for the various Approval Levels are detailed in Chapter 18.10 Permit and Approval Procedures. The Approval Levels given in this chart for structures incorporate the Approval Levels necessary for processing a building permit for the structure. Higher Approval Levels than those listed in this chart for a particular use may be required if a project requires other concurrent Approvals, according to Section 18.10.123.
(2) Timber harvesting and associated operations, requiring approval of a Timber Harvesting Plan by the California Department of Forestry, are not allowed uses in the Commercial zone districts.
