The Public Use District is intended to provide for those facilities and land uses operated by governmental and quasi-public agencies. These facilities and land uses serve the public, but the location and development characteristics of the service facilities can have impacts on adjacent land uses. Therefore, these uses must be reviewed and approved by the Village.

Permitted uses:
(1) 
Village administrative offices, and police, fire and public works buildings and facilities.
(2) 
Public elementary schools, junior and senior high schools and colleges, and administrative offices.
(3)

(5) 
Temporary uses in accordance with § 285-4-8.

The uses permitted above shall relate to the original use to which the property is put or the use of the property at the time this amendment is adopted. Any change which, considering the size of the property and the uses of adjacent property, would or could have significant impact on the use and enjoyment of such adjacent property shall be subject to the provisions of § 285-13-3.
