Salinas Municipal Code Div. 7 Public/Semipublic (PS) District

In addition to the general purposes listed in Article I, Division 1: General Provisions, the purpose of the public/semipublic (PS) district regulations is to:

(a) Allow consideration of a large public or semipublic use separately from regulations for an underlying base zoning district that may or may not be appropriate in combination with the public or semipublic use;

(b) Allow consideration of establishment or expansion of a large public or semipublic use at rezoning hearings rather than at conditional use permit hearings only, and to give public notice of the extent of a site approved for a large public or semipublic use by delineating it on the zoning map;

(c) Promote vital and safe public or semipublic areas through the incorporation of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) features in development; and

(d) Allow the planning commission and city council to consider the most appropriate use of a site following discontinuance of a large public or semipublic use without the encumbrance of a base zoning district that may or may not provide appropriate regulations for reuse of the site.

(Ord. No. 2463 (NCS).)

The city planner, planning commission, and/or city council, as the case may be, shall be guided by those regulations and design standards of the zoning district within closest proximity or a zoning district intended for uses similar to those proposed in the PS district. For properties located in the future growth areas of the city as identified on Figure LU-1 (future growth area) of the general plan land use element, the NU districts design standards shall apply.
