The purpose of the public facilities overlay zone is to provide for locations and appropriate standards for a range of public uses conducted by governmental and specified agencies. These uses are operated for the benefit of the community, and provide basic services and essential support services for the community. Because of the nature of these uses, they are generally not identified with any specific zone district, having the need to locate in areas that best serve the community. The overlay zone allows the city council, through its legislative discretion, to provide for areas in which to locate public facilities to best support the community in a cost effective and efficient manner. It is the intent of this overlay to protect neighboring private uses from incompatible public uses and ensure the impacts associated with the public uses are appropriately mitigated.
