Public and semipublic uses. Public and semipublic uses, excluding utilities, shall be permitted as follows:

(1)

Any public or semipublic uses may be permitted in any district providing that the request for such use is officially made to the planning and zoning board by the public body or semipublic body desiring such use.

(2)

Public and semipublic uses existing at the time of the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived and as indicated on the zoning map or in supporting documents are hereby legally established as conforming public and semipublic uses.

Lot and building requirements. All public, semipublic and special uses shall meet the lot and building requirements of the district in which they are located unless it is determined by the planning and zoning board that such lot and building requirements would not permit the best use of the land and would not provide the best return of the public investment.
