Chapter 18.55 — PUBLIC/QUASI-PUBLIC DISTRICT (PQP)

This chapter lists the uses that may be permitted within the public/quasi-public zoning district, and determines the type of permit or approval required for each use, and basic development standards for the site and building. The purpose of this district is as follows:

A. PQP – Public/Quasi-Public District. The PQP district is applied to areas of the city with schools, hospitals and related medical services, utilities, government offices and facilities, the John Muir Medical Center, Buchanan Field Airport, corporation yards, and public facilities such as sewage treatment facilities and fire stations. Building intensity may be up to 1.5 FAR. The PQP district is consistent with and implements the public/quasi-public land use designation of the general plan. [Ord. 17-11 § 3 (Exh. 9); Ord. 12-4. DC 2012 § 122-199].

Table 18.55.020 identifies the uses allowed by the development code in each public/quasi-public zoning district and the type of permit required to establish each use. See CDC 18.25.030(B) or Division VII of this title (Permits and Permit Procedures). Additional requirements may apply pursuant to Division IV (Development Standards) and Division V (Standards for Specific Uses) of this title.
