Institutional Standards Zone

It is the purpose of this zone to implement the City Master Plan to provide for the appropriate use of a unique and historic area of the City. The lands within the IN-2 Institutional Zone are planned, designed and developed as the campuses for public and quasi-public institutional uses. These uses provide residential facilities, training, care and therapy for disabled individuals. The IN-2 Institutional Zone permits the continuation of the institutional activity and use of the campuses. It also allows for the adaptive reuse of the campuses as one or more planned developments for age-restricted housing. By permitting adaptive reuse, the City will expand the housing and care opportunities available to a growing senior citizen population. The landscaped open spaces and older buildings associated with the historic campus designs are part of the City's cultural landscape and contribute to the desirable and unique visual environment of this area of the City. Consequently, any planned development permitted as an adaptive reuse of the campuses must be based upon an overall plan that maintains the historic buildings and the open space character of the campus landscape.
