18.26.020 - Purposes of the Special Purpose Zoning Districts
The purposes of the individual special purpose zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.
A. OS (Open Space) zoning district. The OS zoning district is applied to properties that are largely unimproved and used for the preservation of natural resources and habitats, passive outdoor recreation, scenic resources, and/or for the protection of public health and safety (e.g., preservation of floodplains). Allowable uses are limited to those that support maintenance and/or recreational uses. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is 0.10. The OS zoning district implements and is consistent with the OS land use designation of the General Plan.
B. PR (Parks and Recreation) zoning district. The PR zoning district is applied to the sites of public parks and recreational facilities. Allowable uses are limited to recreational uses, and the structures needed to support those uses, and facility and site maintenance. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is 0.25. The PR zoning district implements and is consistent with the PR land use designation of the General Plan.
C. PF (Public Facility and Services) zoning district. The PF zoning district is applied to the sites of existing and proposed public buildings, utility facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, and related easements. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is 0.75. The PF zoning district implements and is consistent with the PF land use designation of the General Plan.
(Ord. 930, § 2, passed 06-12-2017)
18.26.030 - Special Purpose District Land Uses and Permit Requirements
A. General permit requirements. Table 2-14 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Development Code in each special purpose zoning district, and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with § 18.20.030 (Allowable Land Uses and Planning Permit Requirements).
B. Requirements for certain specific land uses. Where the last column in Table 2-14 (“Specific Use Regulations”) includes a section number, the referenced section may affect whether the use requires a Zoning Clearance, Minor Use Permit, or Use Permit, and/or may establish other requirements and standards applicable to the use.
(Ord. 930, § 2, passed 06-12-2017)
18.26.040 - Special Purpose District Subdivision Standards
The minimum area and dimensions for new parcels in the OS, PR, and PF zoning districts shall be determined by the City through the subdivision process.
(Ord. 930, § 2, passed 06-12-2017)
18.26.050 - Special Purpose District Site Planning and Building Standards
Subdivisions, new land uses and structures, and alterations to existing land uses and structures shall be designed, constructed, and/or established in compliance with the requirements established by the City through the Use Permit process, capital improvements programming process, or leasing of public property, as applicable, in addition to the applicable development standards (e.g., landscaping, parking and loading, etc.) in Article 3.
