The purpose of this article is to provide a specific zoning classification for a variety of public facilities to promote the proper location of these uses and ensure their long-term continuity and compatibility with adjacent land uses.

Table 5-6, in Section 505.5, identifies the principally permitted and accessory uses within the PF district.

Table 5-6, in Section 505.5, identifies those uses which are conditionally permitted within the PF district, subject to the approval and qualifications of the Board of Adjustment provided: a) the activity is provided primarily in support of and obtains its trade from the employees or users of the district's permitted uses; b) the activity is of integral relation to the purpose of the district; c) the use, building or structure is subservient to and not of scale, nature, trade or other character which will compete, detract, or conflict with the purpose and permitted use of the district; and d) provided the arrangement of uses, buildings or structures is mutually compatible with the organization of permitted and accessory uses to be protected in the district.

The maximum total intensity of all uses in a Public Facility district shall not exceed 25,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre.

There are no minimum size or extent of land common of Public Facilities uses or districts. Rather a district may include a single private or public lot of record, if the general performance of the specified use and its affected land so merits.

All permitted, accessory and conditional uses, buildings, or structures in this district are subject to:

1. 1.
   Any resolution or order of Boone County or the Commonwealth of Kentucky or law of the United States regulating nuisances, environment and safety.
2. 2.
   Any prior conditions which may be prescribed by the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department governing provision for or operation of the use, building or structure and its environs.
3. 3.
   All permitted uses subject to local zoning regulations must meet the requirements of ARTICLE 30, Site Plan Review.
4. 4.
   See SECTION 3111 for dimensional standards for uses that are governed by local zoning regulations.
