B. Permitted Land Uses: Permitted uses include, but are not limited to, public uses, agriculture/horticulture, cemeteries, detention facilities, heliports, and wireless communication facilities.

Notices and public hearing procedures shall be as outlined in section 17.02.300, "Decision Making Procedures/Public Hearings," of this title.
D. Standards: All uses within this district shall be designed and built in a manner so as to minimize any dangerous, injurious, noxious, or otherwise objectionable fire, explosive, radioactive or other hazardous condition; noise or vibration; smoke, dust, odor or other form of air pollution; electrical or other disturbance; glare or heat; liquid or solid refuse or wastes; or other substances, conditions or elements in a manner or amount as to adversely affect the surrounding area.
