Public/Quasi-Public District

The PQP Public/Quasi-Public District is intended to provide for publicly serving uses on lots that are designated Public/Quasi-Public on the General Plan Land Use/Transportation Diagram. The publicly serving land uses within this district can include schools, colleges, research institutions, corporation yards, homeless shelters, libraries, fire stations, water treatment facilities, convention centers with integrated hotels and restaurants, auditoriums, museums, governmental offices, airports, stadiums, and other similar publicly-oriented institutional land uses with associated incidental commercial uses supporting such publicly-oriented institutional land uses. This district may also accommodate private schools, daycare centers, hospitals, public utilities, and the facilities of any organization involved in the provision of public services such as gas, water, electricity, and telecommunications facilities that are consistent in character with established public land uses. Private community gathering facilities, including those used for religious assembly or other comparable assembly activity, may also be considered. The appropriate intensity of development can vary considerably depending on potential impacts on surrounding uses and the particular Public/Quasi-Public use developed on a site.
