- Public and Civic Districts
In addition to the districts otherwise established by this Title, there shall also be in the City:
(a)
A public and civic district referred to as a P-C district to apply to land that is owned by a governmental agency and in some form of public use, including open space. The purpose of designating such land as a P-C district on the zoning map is to relate the zoning map to major elements of actual land use and the Citywide land use plan of the General Plan. Any lot in a P-C district may be occupied by any principal uses listed as a permitted and/or conditional use;
(b)
A greenway/utility corridor district referred to as a GUC district to apply to land that is owned by various property owners, including public entities, private entities, and non-profit organizations that is restricted for use by easements and other conditions. The purpose of designating such land as a GUC district on the zoning map is to delineate areas intended to promote the creation of continuous trails and multiple access points for public recreational use through a voluntary conservation easement or other mechanism. Areas located within the boundaries of the GUC district shall be limited to listed permitted and/or conditional uses that do not impact utility functions or existing easements.
