Institutional—Private (I-1). The institution-al—private (I-1) district encompasses a variety of private institutions, including churches and private schools.
B.
Institutional—Public (I-2). The institutional—public (I-2) district applies to all public facilities in Chino Hills, including City, county, and other government properties (such as the Civic Center), public schools, fire stations, flood control channels, and utilities and utility rights-of-way.
