§ 58.814. Light Public Benefit Uses.

In addition to any zoning district and use regulations of Figures 1—2, the following requirements shall apply to light public benefit uses.

A.

Design Criteria. Light public benefit uses should be designed to integrate into the surrounding community by matching the height, scale, mass, and articulation of surrounding buildings. Buildings must be designed with a minimum of 30 percent transparency on all facades facing a public street, and may employ architectural treatments and features that identify the building as a civic space or neighborhood anchor. Fully shielded or cut-off lighting is required when located in or adjacent to a residential zoning district. Fencing adjacent to public rights-of-way, where allowed, must be CPTED-style open fencing. Sidewalks and streetscape treatments should match the rest of the street. Appearance review is required to ensure consistency with the design criteria of this subsection.

B.

Offices. Any office-type public benefit use must meet the standards for office uses in Chapter 58, Part 4M.

C.

Police and Fire Stations. When proposed in residential zoning districts, police and fire stations should be located on the edges of established neighborhoods, accessed from an arterial or collector road.

D.

Parks. In order to allow citizen input into the parks planning and development process, and because existing park facilities will periodically need to be expanded and/or redeveloped, all parks shall require review and approval as a Master Plan (to either establish a new park or substantially change an individual park's master plan), except where a conditional use permit is required and a master site plan is reviewed and approved as a part of the conditional use application.
