"Zoning" means the regulation of the use of lands, or the manner of construction related thereto, in the interest of achieving public benefit, protecting public welfare, maintaining compatibility between uses, while providing for orderly growth and development, that supports a comprehensive plan for development. Public lands are zoned as such on the city zoning map. Use of public land for public and quasi-public land uses and buildings providing for proprietary-type services shall be required to comply with applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance. Users of public land for governmental activities are encouraged to understand applicable land use regulations and to cooperate under these regulations in order to secure harmonious development.
