This district is designed to classify publicly owned lands and to provide adequate space for the development of public and quasi-public uses and services that are critical for the vitality and well-being of residential neighborhoods by preserving such areas already devoted to such uses. These uses include, but are not limited to, schools, parks and playgrounds, open spaces, churches, government facilities, and senior housing. Most of these uses are usually necessary for residential neighborhoods to function properly and should be located within them. However, such uses must adhere to the character and design patterns of the established neighborhoods by emphasizing pedestrian accessibility over automobile accessibility. Some of these uses are incompatible with residential neighborhoods, and should be screened and separated from them.
