There is established a zone which shall hereinafter be known as the "public facilities zone," and which shall function and serve as set out in this chapter.
(Prior code § 9205.07; Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
The intent and purpose of the public facilities zone is to recognize existing publicly owned facilities and to clearly distinguish certain areas within the city that will best facilitate the development and conduct of government and public related institutional activities.
(Prior code § 9205.07(A))
A. 
The public facilities zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the implementation of the community facilities element of the general plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on selective areas of the community most appropriately located for public and public oriented institutional activities.
B. 
Application of the public facilities zone must identify and define those specific public and/or public oriented institutional uses, facilities and agencies that preserve and maintain civic integrity and public services, and must be fully protected from the encroachment of land uses and development which may tend to usurp, deteriorate or destroy its function and purpose.
C. 
Uses of land and development which do not qualify and which are not specifically permitted in the public facilities zone are expressly prohibited.
(Prior code § 9205.07(B); Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
Regulations governing permitted uses of land in the public facilities zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.07(C); Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
Because of the unique nature of the public facilities zone, development of property therein shall be determined by and subject to a precise plan of design as set forth in Chapter 18.48 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.07(D); Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
Regulations governing off-street parking requirements for uses and development in the public facilities zone shall be subject to the provisions as specifically set forth in Chapter 18.44 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.07(E); Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
Regulations governing permitted signs and advertising for uses and development in the public facilities zone shall be subject to the provisions as specifically set forth in Chapter 18.46 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.07(F); Ord. 857 § 4, 1994)
