The purpose of this chapter is to define allowable land uses and property development standards, including intensity of development, for the public, semi-public and special-purpose zones, in order to produce healthy, safe, and attractive neighborhoods within the City of Anaheim, consistent with the policy direction in the Anaheim General Plan. The intent of each of the public and special-purpose zones is described below. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004.)

.010 "OS" Open Space Zone. The intent of the "OS" Zone is to protect and preserve open space for the preservation of natural resources, for the conservation and managed production of other resources, for outdoor recreation and education, and for public health and safety. This zone is intended to be applied to permanent easements, public and semi-public land and agricultural land. This zone implements the Open Space designation in the General Plan.

.020 "PR" Public Recreational Zone. The intent of the "PR" Zone is to establish for the benefit of the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Anaheim and its visitors, a zone to preserve, regulate and control the orderly use and enjoyment of City-owned properties and facilities and adjacent private property. Property within the purview of the Public Recreational Zone includes: (a) City-owned property, whether the same is exclusively occupied by the City or is used by others on the basis of some agreement with or concession by the City; and (b) adjacent private property, whose use and development has an impact on the use and enjoyment of City-owned property and facilities. This zone implements the Parks and Water Uses land use designations in the General Plan.

.030 "SP" Semi-Public Zone. The intent of the "SP" Zone is to provide locations for uses that support civic, governmental, cultural, health, educational, recreational, and infrastructure uses of the community, but have limited commercial uses. In some situations, other types of complementary uses are allowed with a use permit. This zone implements the Institutional, Parks, Schools, and Water Uses land use designations in the General Plan.

.040 "T" Transition Zone. The intent of the "T" Zone is to provide for a zone to include land that is used for agricultural uses, in a transitory or interim use, restricted to limited uses because of special conditions, or not zoned to one of the zoning districts in this title for whatever reason, including recent annexation. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004: Ord. 6609 § 6; May 13, 2025.)

.010 Primary Uses. Table 14-A (Primary Uses: Public and Special-Purpose Zones) identifies allowable primary uses, listed by classes of uses as defined in Sections 18.36.030 and 18.36.040 of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).

.020 Accessory Uses. Table 14-B (Accessory Uses and Structures: Public and Special-Purpose Zones) identifies allowable accessory uses and structures, listed by classes of uses as defined in Section 18.36.050 of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).

.030 Temporary Uses. Table 14-C (Temporary Uses and Structures: Public and Special-Purpose Zones) identifies allowable temporary uses and structures, listed by classes of uses as defined in Section 18.36.060 of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).

.040 The allowable uses in Tables 14-A, 14-B and 14-C for each zone are established by letter designations as follows:

.0401 "P" designates classes of uses permitted by right;

.0402 "C" designates classes of uses permitted with a conditional use permit;

.0403 “M” designates classes of uses that are prohibited;

.0404 “T” designates classes of uses permitted with a telecommunications antenna review permit; and

.0405 “N” designates classes of uses that are prohibited.

.050 Interpreting Classes of Uses. The provisions for interpreting the classes of uses in Tables 14-A, 14-B, or 14-C are set forth in Section 18.36.020 (Classification of Uses) of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).

.060 Unlisted Uses. Any class of use that is not listed in Tables 14-A, 14-B or 14-C is not permitted.

.070 Sites Formerly Used for Service Stations. In addition to the provisions of Table 14-A, any use of a building or canopy on a site that was formerly used as an automobile service station shall require a conditional use permit. (Ord. 5998 § 15; October 25, 2005.)

.080 Temporary Modular Units. All uses that are conducted with temporary modular units shall obtain a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 18.66 (Conditional Use Permits).

.090 Additional Uses in "PR" Zone. The following provisions apply within the "PR" Zone.

.0901 In addition to the provisions of Tables 14-A, 14-B or 14-C and consistent with the intent of the "PR" Zone, the following uses, either singly or in combination, are allowed by right as primary uses:

.01 Aquatic recreational complexes;

.02 Convention center complexes;

.03 Municipal auditoriums;

.04 Parks, greenbelts, conservation areas and open space; and

.05 Stadium and sports arena complexes.

.0902 Notwithstanding the provisions of Tables 14-A, 14-B or 14-C, the City may allow any other buildings, structures and uses in the "PR" zone as the City Council or Planning Commission, by resolution, determines are for the benefit of the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Anaheim. (Ord. 5998 § 16; October 25, 2005.)

.100 Special Provisions. Special provisions related to a use are referenced in the "Special Provisions" column of Tables 14- A, 14-B and 14-C. Such provisions may include references to other applicable code sections or limitations to the specified land use.

.110 Overlay Zones. Any property that is located within an overlay zone may be subject to additional requirements as specified in the overlay zone.
