The purpose of this chapter is to establish permitted land uses for the city of Bothell. 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 be or has been in continuous operation for a period exceeding 60 days, except that in no case shall a transitory accommodation, which may be allowed to operate continuously for a period of up to 90 days as set forth in BMC 12.06.160(B)(3)(c), be considered permanently established. A use which will operate for 60 days or less, and transitory accommodations, are considered temporary uses, and are subject to the requirements of BMC 12.06.160. All applicable requirements of this code, or other applicable state or federal requirements, shall govern a use located within the Bothell city limits.
