Orange City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 17

24 PUBLIC INSTITUTION DISTRICT

§ 17.24.010 Purpose and Intent.

The Public Institution (PI) district is established to accommodate a wide range of public and quasi-public uses which, by their very nature, need special consideration to ensure compatibility with surrounding development. The PI district may also accommodate housing and privately operated office and medical office activity that is functionally related to a public and quasi-public use. This district is further intended to be applied only to property clearly intended for such public and quasi-public uses.
