(A) Purpose. The principal purpose of the (P) Public Overlay District is to allow those government which are necessary to serve the public in particular locations of the city, and to distinguish them from private uses. The (P) Public Overlay District is to provide an overlay designation superimposed over existing zoning districts for those lands held in public ownership by local, state and federal agencies within the city limits. It is intended that each public use conform to the development standards required for all other uses permitted within the underlying zoning district.
