The Public Use District is intended to provide for a district for public buildings and uses that otherwise may not fit into zoning districts because of their specialized land use needs and public purpose. This designation serves as a notice to those owning or buying land in proximity to publicly owned land, which is not ordinarily subject to the regulations of this chapter.
A. 
In general. Table 10-1 lists all permitted and conditional uses allowed in the Public Use District.
B. 
Permitted uses. Uses specified with a "P" are permitted in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.
C. 
Conditional uses. Uses specified with a "C" are allowed as a conditional use in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.
D. 
Prohibited uses. Any use not listed as either "P" (permitted) or "C" (conditional) in a particular district or any use not determined by the Community Development Director or his/her designee to be substantially similar to a use listed as permitted or conditional shall be prohibited in that district. Such determination shall be made in the manner provided for in Chapter 500-200, Administration and Enforcement, governing determination of substantially similar uses.
E. 
Specific development standards. Permitted and conditional uses specified with an "x" under the Specific Development Standards column shall be subject to the standards identified in other areas of the Village of Bellevue Zoning Ordinance.
