There is hereby established a zone which shall hereinafter be known as the "P-A professional and administrative zone," and which shall function and serve as set out in this chapter.
(Prior code § 9205.08)
The intent and purpose of the P-A zone is to designate certain areas within the city for the use and development of business office centers and complexes, institutional, professional and administrative facilities, and other similar uses of land specializing in the rendering of services rather than the dispensing of commodities.
(Prior code § 9205.08(A))
A. 
The P-A zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the implementation of the commercial land use element of the general plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on areas of the community of a general business nature, and to limit and restrict uses of land wherein the general development of mixed commercial uses would not be appropriate or compatible.
B. 
Application of the P-A zone must be clearly defined and protected from the encroachment of land uses and development that do not exhibit or perform a service rendering function and purpose.
C. 
Uses of land which do not qualify and which are not specifically permitted in the P-A zone are hereby expressly prohibited.
(Prior code § 9205.08(B))
Regulations governing permitted uses of land in the P-A zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.08(C))
Regulations governing the development of property for uses in the P-A zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.42 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.08(D))
Regulations governing off-street parking requirements for uses and development of property in the P-A zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.44 of this title.
(Prior code § 9205.08(E))
Regulations governing permitted signs and advertising for uses and development of property in the P-A zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.46 of this title.
