The public/semipublic district is established to provide areas for utility, government, institutional, assembly, and other like uses. Because of the higher intensity usually attributable to these types of uses this district should be located where it will have convenient access to arterial and collector streets.

The public/semipublic district shall provide for appropriate development of lands that are designated in the comprehensive plan as public/semipublic with land uses of institutional or transportation/utility.
