P-1 - University District. The intent of this P-1 University District is to allow for the establishment and expansion of colleges, universities, or theological schools. It shall be applied to property owned or leased and used by a college, university, or theological school for educational or education related activities. While providing for flexibility in land usage, this district recognizes the multi-building, multi-acre, traffic generating character of universities and the profound influence such a school may have upon surrounding neighborhoods and public facilities and utilities. This district is not to serve as a substitute for comprehensive, cooperative, campus community planning but rather it is intended to foster better relations and mutual problem solving between the two.

P-2 - Public Lands and Institutions District. The intent of this P-2 Public Lands and Institutions District is to allow for the establishment and maintenance of public uses, publicly-regulated uses and private uses that display an inherent relationship to the public interest. The creation of such a district shall be provided for parcels of substantial size where such community serving uses are necessary in order that adequate community services may be rendered and where, through proper site selection and planning, such uses are compatible with the surrounding area.

P-3 - Airport District. The intent of this P-3 Airport District is to allow for the establishment and maintenance of airports, heliports, and landing fields and to promote the compatible usage of land adjacent to such facilities.
