1. Purpose. The intent of the Health Care District is to allow for typical uses associated with health care, including outpatient diagnostic and surgical centers and special treatment facilities that involve extended stay, to be permitted around existing hospital/medical uses. This District recognizes that medical offices benefit from being close to hospitals. The community as a whole benefits from a concentration of medical services by allowing for easier access to medical services.
