CHAPTER 6

P, PUBLIC DISTRICTS

4-6-1: PUBLIC DISTRICTS:

Public Districts are created to apply to land that is owned by a governmental agency and is in some form of public use, including open space, parks, schools and other public buildings and facilities. The purpose of designating such land as a "P" District on the Zoning Map is to relate the Zoning Map to major elements of actual land use and the County-wide Master Plan.

4-6-2: P, PUBLIC DISTRICT:

The Public Use District is intended to provide zoning regulation for such land and building as may be used for public purposes, but which may in the future be released for private purposes or which may be developed for more intensive public purposes.
   (A)   Permitted Uses: The following principal uses are permitted in the "P" District:
      1.   Buildings and uses of governmental agencies not subject to regulation by this Code.
      2.   Public building and uses of the County and other governmental agencies that are subject to regulation by this Code, when in conformity with the Master Plan and the provisions of other applicable laws.
   (B)   Conditional Uses: The following are conditional uses in the "P" District, permitted only when authorized by the Planning Commission:
      1.   Parochial or private elementary or secondary schools, either nonprofit or operated for a profit, attendance at which satisfies the requirement of the compulsory education laws of the State of Nevada.
