<br />Government Offices and Buildings/Facilities Regulations <br /> <br />Currently, Government Offices are allowed inall single-family residential districts, the central <br />business, office, highway commercial, and downtown (Cl, C2, C3 & DD) districts and the <br />business park (BP) district. <br /> <br />Government Offices are conditional uses in the townhome (R3) district. <br /> <br />Government Buildings and Facilities are not allowed in any district, but they are conditional uses <br />in all residential (Rl, R2a&b, R3 & R4) districts, the central business, office, highway <br />commercial and downtown (Cl, C2, C3 & DD) districts and the light industrial, medium <br />industrial and business park (Ii, I2 & BP) districts. <br /> <br />The neighborhood commercial (C4) does not allow either use in the district. <br /> <br />Governmental buildings and facilities means any building, structure, or facility for the purpose of a <br />facility serving certain governmental functions. These uses are intended to include uses that <br />are supportive of governmental functions such as public works facilities, correctional <br />facilities, and waste handling or processing facilities. These uses are intended to be <br />distinguished from governmental offices and essential services. <br /> <br />Governmental offices means any facility, building, and structure for the purpose of providing <br />governmental services to the general public. Uses intended are generally compatible with <br />office and residential uses and include city offices, county offices, courthouses, jails operated <br />on the same site and as part of a city or county courthouse, libraries, and post offices. These <br />uses are intended for the direct provision of governmental services to the public as <br />distinguished from governmental buildings and facilities. <br /> <br />Consistency issues: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Why are Governmental Offices allowed in single family but not two-family or apartment <br />districts? Why are they a conditional use in the townhome district? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />How do you determine what function a mixed-use building might be? For example, <br />the County Highway Department building that has both office and storage <br />functions? <br /> <br />Requiring all governmental functions to exist as conditional uses in all districts provides <br />consistency and eliminates the need to interpret what type the use is. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Michele McPherson\CCREPRTS\ I 10 05 Govt Off Bldg Fac Handout.doc <br />
