The A-C zoning district is consistent with the Agricultural-Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
D. AP (Airport) district. The AP zoning district is intended to protect the development of the Municipal Airport for the benefit of the public and to promote compatible uses of adjacent or nearby land; and to reserve land on the airport site for aircraft operations and related support facilities. The AP zoning district is consistent with the Public land use designation of the General Plan.
E. P-I (Public-Institutional) district. The P-I zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for public facilities, utilities, and public gathering facilities including: parks, public schools, libraries, government offices, etc. The P-I zoning district is consistent with and implements the Public land use designation of the General Plan.
