The purpose of Chapter 17.18, public and semi-public districts, is to provide locations for uses that support civic, cultural, health, educational, infrastructure, and open space uses for the community, consistent with the policy direction in the city of San Pablo general plan. The intent of each of the public and semi-public zoning districts is described below. (Ord. 02-004 § 1 (part), 2002)
A. I Institutional. The I institutional district is intended to implement the public/semi-public land use designation in the general plan by providing for uses such as parks, government administrative offices, schools and school playgrounds, hospitals, convalescent homes, fire stations, public utility stations, post offices, and various types of state and federal facilities. In some situations, other types of complementary uses are allowed with a use permit.
B. OS Open Space District. The OS open space district is intended to implement the open space land use designation in the general plan by providing for non-recreational open space, active recreational open space, creeks, and passive recreational open space. This district is to be applied to lands owned by a public agency. In some situations other types of complementary uses are allowed with a use permit. (Ord. 02-004 § 1 (part), 2002)
A. Matrix of Uses. Table 18-A contains the use regulations for the public/semi-public zoning districts, listed by classes of uses as defined in Chapter 17.08. The allowable uses in Table 18-A for each district are established by letter designations as follows:
1. “R” designates classes of uses permitted by right;
2. “A” designates classes of uses that require an administrative review;
3. “U” designates classes of uses permitted with a use permit; and
4. “-” designates classes of uses that are prohibited.
5. Any class of use not listed in Table 17.10-1 is prohibited.
B. Exceptions Along Railroad Lines and Streams. Notwithstanding the provisions of Table 18-A, the following provisions apply:
1. Any development within three hundred feet of a railroad line that is used at least once daily shall require a use permit to ensure that the development adequately mitigates noise and vibration from the rail operations, pursuant to the relevant policies and actions under Goal PS 4 of the general plan.
2. Any development, including land disturbance, that is within fifty feet of any stream shall require a use permit to ensure that the development adequately avoids impacts to wetland features or woodlands, reduces impacts to the creek, and prevents degradation of riparian and wetland features from potential urban pollutants, pursuant to the relevant policies and actions related to creeks under Goal ER 1 of the general plan.
C. Design Review. Certain uses also require design review. A list of those uses is contained in Chapter 17.62.
D. Principal Uses Only. Only principal uses are listed in Table 18-A. Accessory uses are addressed in Section 17.18.050.
E. Other Regulations. Some uses are also subject to the provisions of Title 5 and other titles of the San Pablo municipal code. Those provisions are in addition to the provisions in this chapter.
F. Special Provisions. Special provisions related to a use are referenced in the “Special Provisions” column of Table 18-A.
