(A) The purpose of the Institutional/Civic (IN) zone is to provide adequate space for community facilities of a public or quasi-public nature in locations best suited to serve the needs of the community, to protect such lands from intrusion by other uses, and to set forth those development standards necessary to ensure that such uses will be compatible with surrounding land uses.
(B) Civic and institutional uses generally are located on parcels throughout the city surrounded by a multitude of other zones and land uses. In order to make civic and institutional uses compatible with their surrounding uses, the development standards contained in this chapter are based upon the development standards applicable to zones adjoining proposed civic and institutional uses.
