What else applies
- Standards for this use: 153.040.030 (referenced for educational institutions in the commercial/industrial table).
- Not covered here: Residential zones (R-1, R-2, R-3 etc.): their use tables are not in the packet, so every use here covers only the commercial, industrial and mixed-use zones; Open Space zone (S3) is a list, not a table; it lists only public school buildings, recreation, agriculture, parking; Zone names of F-C, I-C, I are not stated in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
