17.63.010 Purpose.

The purpose of the P-F Public Facilities zone is to provide for the location and establishment of facilities which, under public franchise, ownership, or private enterprises operating for the public convenience or necessity, provide public services such as electricity, gas, communication, transportation, water, sewage treatment, education, religious activities and other public assembly, cultural facilities, parks and other public properties which utilize relatively large tracts of land. This zone is intended to reduce the effect which the location of these facilities may have upon zoning allocations for residential, commercial or industrial areas within the City. Because of the governmental and educational service issues served, the intent of this chapter is to allow each governmental and educational entity to select properties they each identify as serving their respective needs, and then to request P-F zoning for such properties, all subject to City procedures regarding such zoning. [Ord. 2097 § 1, 2005.]
