The purpose of the Public Facility (PF) District is to provide areas for public facilities such as government offices, public safety facilities, community centers, museums, schools, parks and recreational areas, and the Community Library. The intent is to designate those areas as PF District to distinguish them from the surrounding agricultural, residential, commercial, and other land use districts. A further intent is to provide the City with a means to consider the most appropriate use of a site following discontinuance of an existing public facility use without the encumbrance of an underlying district which may not provide appropriate regulations for reuse of the site.

The following uses are permitted within the PF District, subject to approval of a use permit in accordance with Chapter 17.60:

A.

Governmental and quasi-public administrative offices, and similar uses;

B.

Publicly-owned facilities including parks and recreation areas, libraries, museums, community centers, and schools;

C.

Fire stations, public safety facilities, government corporation yards, public utility facilities and substations;

D.

Similar uses subject to approval of the Planning Commission;

E.

Ancillary activities in support of or as part of a use listed above including parking areas, limited commercial activities, caretaker's quarters, etc.; and

F.

Emergency Shelter facility (subject to standards in Section 17.36.082).
