The P district is intended to apply to all lands designated in the General Plan as "public/quasi-public." The district is designed to accommodate governmental, public utility, educational, community service, religious or recreational facilities. Such uses are somewhat unique in that their proximity to sensitive land uses is not generally detrimental to the quality of life and in many cases is desirable and convenient. The district is intended to provide space for community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which may complement a residential environment.
