(1) The Public Facilities (PF) zone is established to provide areas for the location and establishment of facilities which, under public franchise, ownership, or private enterprises operating for the public convenience and necessity, provide public services such as electricity, gas, communication, transportation, water, sewage treatment, education, religious activities and other public assembly, cultural facilities, parks, recreation etc. and which utilize relatively large areas of land.

(2) This zone is intended to provide immediate recognition of such areas upon the official zoning map of the City, and to reduce the effect which the location of these facilities may have upon zoning statistics in residential, commercial, or industrial areas. Typical uses permitted in the PF zone are public schools, public parks, hospitals, airports, public utilities, public equipment storage areas, and public shop areas. Though some of these uses will be allowed in other zones to initially accommodate public facilities in appropriate areas without undue difficulty, it is intended that the PF zone would then be applied to all such facilities for ease of recognition and accurate statistical indexing.

(1) Except as provided in Section 9.19.020, Provo City Code, those uses or categories of uses as listed herein, and no others, are permitted in the PF zone.

(2) All uses contained herein are listed by number as designated in the Standard Land Use Code published and maintained by the Planning Commission. Specific uses are identified by a four (4) digit number in which all digits are whole numbers. Classes or groups of such uses permitted in the zone are identified by a four (4) digit number in which the last one (1) or two (2) digits are zeroes.

(3) All such categories listed herein and all specific uses contained within them in the Standard Land Use Code will be permitted in the PF zone, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

(4) Permitted Principal Uses. The following principal uses and structures, and no others, are permitted in the PF zone:

(5) Permitted Accessory Uses. Accessory uses and structures are permitted in the PF zone provided they are incidental to and do not substantially alter the character of the permitted use or structure, and are located on the same or an adjacent lot as the permitted use. Such permitted accessory uses and structures include, but are not limited to, the following:

(6) Conditional Uses. The following uses and structures are permitted in the PF zone only after a conditional use permit has been issued, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof:

(1) Front Yard. Each lot or parcel of land in the PF zone shall have a front yard of not less than ten (10) feet, except that those lots or parcels lying adjacent to a residential zone along the same street frontage shall have a front yard equal to that required by the provisions of the most restrictive residential one which it abuts along said street frontage.

(2) Side Yard. No requirements, except when the parcel of property in the PF zone abuts the side or rear yard of a lot or parcel lying within a residential zone. In that case, the yard width shall be equal to that required by the provisions of the residential zone established on the abutting property. The provisions of Subsections (3), (4), and (5) of this Section shall apply as appropriate.

(3) Side Yard - Corner Lots. On corner lots, the side yard contiguous to the street shall not be less than fifteen (15) feet in width and shall not be used for vehicular parking except such portion as is devoted to driveway use for access to a garage or carport.

(4) Side Yard - Driveway. See Section 14.37.100, Provo City Code.

(5) Side Yard - Accessory Building. An accessory building may be located on a side property line if, and only if, all of the following conditions are met:

(2) A conditional use permit has been granted by the Planning Commission in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02.040, Provo City Code. Unique characteristics of a particular building site (such as significant topographic differences between the building site and adjoining residential properties) may justify the City’s Zoning Administrator requiring the project to undergo Conditional Use Review, even though the condition outlined in Subsection (1) of this Section is satisfied.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing height limits, the maximum height of a building located on City-owned property on or adjacent to the Provo City Airport may be fifty-five (55) feet.

(1) Parking within the PF zone shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 14.37, Provo City Code.

(3) Parking spaces shall not be provided within a required front yard or a side yard adjacent to a public street.

(4) Paved access for five (5) or less parking spaces shall have a minimum width of twelve (12) feet.

(5) Paved access for six (6) or more spaces shall have a minimum width of twelve (12) feet for one (1) way traffic and sixteen (16) feet for two (2) way traffic.

(1) An applicant may submit a request for a conditional use permit for the reduction in the parking required for accessory housing in a Public Facility zone pursuant to the requirements contained within this Section.

(2) Based upon a proper application, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing and may grant a conditional use permit to change the parking ratio required for accessory housing within a Public Facility zone pursuant to the following criteria:

(3) A conditional use permit granted under this Section shall be reviewed by the Department of Development Services one (1) year after issuance to determine if the development has had any difficulty in meeting the parking needs of the tenants.

(1) Scoreboards are designed to be an integral part of the athletic field and are designed in a manner that is compatible with the scale and mass of the athletic field and campus location.

(2) Electronic messages and other displays shall be oriented to the athletic field, rather than to the public street or neighboring properties.

(3) Messages facing the public street or neighboring properties shall be limited to identification and logos of the school and one (1) sponsor. These displays shall be static and illuminated only during official games and other major events.

(4) The size of the sponsor identification and/or logo shall be smaller than and complementary to the size of the school name and/or logos.

(1) Before any existing public facility use may be changed to another use a conditional use permit shall be obtained from the Planning Commission, subject to the standards set forth in Section 14.02.040, Provo City Code. Any such change in use shall be a permitted or conditional use allowed in the PF zone.

(2) Any change of use that creates more intense impacts may be denied if the Planning Commission finds that such impacts cannot be mitigated by the imposition of conditions. Land use impacts that may need to be mitigated include the following:
