The purpose of the Public Facilities (PF) and Institutional (N) Districts is to clearly separate the development standards and Land Use regulations for

794-7

(Watsonville Supp. No. xx, 5-26)

14-16.801

Public Facilities owned and operated by City or County Government agencies with uses that are available to the general public and other institutional facilities that provide uses that are available to the public but are either privately owned or operated by State and Federal agencies. The Development standards are intended to identify minimum design criteria for each use within the land use categories. The Land Use regulations are intended to outline allowable uses within both the Public Facilities and Institutional zones. While certain uses owned by State or Federal agencies may not be totally under the jurisdiction of City regulatory controls, the City may still make the determination as to where such facilities should be located and administer a site plan review procedure.

The following list represents those uses, subject to the provisions of this title, in the Public Facilities (PF) and the Institutional (N) zones that are permitted by right (P), subject to Design Review (D), require an Administrative Use Permit with Design Review approval (AUP), require a Special Use Permit with Design Review approval (SUP), require an approval of a Temporary Use Permit (TUP), or are prohibited (X).

Any other use or service establishment determined by the Zoning Administrator to be of the same general character as the foregoing permitted uses, which will not impair the present or potential use of adjacent properties, shall be permitted. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposed use is more in character with the conditional uses for this zone, then either an AUP or SUP shall be required to be processed.
