The purpose of the Community Service District (CSD) is to provide adequate space for the development of 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, churches, and senior housing. These uses are 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.
