4 Accessory use.
5 All yards adjacent to public rights-of-way shall be considered front yards. In the case of a “corner lot” with two front yards, one front yard will be designated for only half the front yard setback requirements, depending on principal building or lot access or narrowest width of the lot as determined by the zoning administrator. In the case of a “through lot” with two front yards, both front yards shall have front yard setback requirements.
(Ord. 1263-17 (Exh. A); Ord. 1244-16 § 3 (Exh. A))
16.12.080 Public buildings, parks and open spaces (PB/P/OS) zone.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the public buildings, parks and open spaces zone is to recognize public places and provide zoning safeguards for properties devoted to public uses and uses that take place in a wide distribution and variety of zones throughout the Sultan community. The zone is applicable to property owned or managed by governmental agencies, special purpose districts, and privately owned open space preservation. This purpose is accomplished by:
1. Providing a zone in which uses serving public needs and critical area preservation may be located with attention to the specific needs of such uses throughout the community.
2. Identifying publicly owned and privately owned land uses with special zoning limitations.
3. Protecting adjacent properties from potential impacts of public uses, natural hazards, and critical area/open space preservation.
4. Placement of this zone on properties owned, managed, used, or intended to be used by public agencies such as schools, government facilities, social services, hospitals, libraries, special purpose districts, etc.
B. Permitted Uses.
1. Public Agency Offices.
a. Public schools;
b. Post offices;
c. Courthouses;
d. Municipal buildings/facilities;
e. Fire stations;

D. Development and Design Standards. Many of the uses in the PB/P/OS zone are unique in the way that they use land and in the way that they affect neighboring properties. Many PB/P/OS uses are also subject to federal, state, and regional development and design standards that are beyond the influence of local zoning codes.
E. Definitions. The following terms and definitions apply for the purposes of this zoning district:
1. “Agency (governmental agency)” means federal, state, county, or city government, or unit or department thereof, constituted as such under the Constitution of the United States or the Washington State Constitution.
2. “District” means port, school, fire, electric utility, gas utility, or similar special purpose public taxing district or service provider constituted as such under the Washington State Constitution.

1 Buildable Area Calculation – Transfer of Floor Area. An owner of a site or property containing critical areas (streams or wetlands) may be permitted to transfer the available floor area attributed to the size of the critical area to the unconstrained portion of the same site or property, and reduce the parking requirements for the development by an area equal to the floor area transferred, subject to the following requirements:
(a) The critical area or stream corridor and required buffers be dedicated to the city as an easement;
(b) The minimum parking requirements for the proposed single-story land use, based on maximum lot coverage and net usable lot area, is provided.
2 Plus one acre per 100 students.
3 Conditional use.
4 Minimum dimension requirements for recreational facilities shall be established by the building and zoning official, based on the recreation performance standards.
5 All yards adjacent to public rights-of-way shall be considered front yards. In the case of a “corner lot” with two front yards, one front yard will be designated for only half the front yard setback requirements, depending on principal building or lot access or narrowest width of the lot as determined by the zoning administrator. In the case of a “through lot” with two front yards, both front yards shall have front yard setback requirements.
