3-70-10 P-I (Public and Institutional)

(a) Intent

• The P-I (Public and Institutional) zone district is intended to provide for the development of public and institutional uses, facilities and services for governmental, civic, educational, humanitarian, health care and other non-profit public purposes consistent with the Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan and to provide for related uses that are customarily incidental or accessory to public and institutional uses. In addition, the zone district is intended to provide for other non-profit facilities and uses that require sites with multiple buildings, unique facilities, or facilities that are not easily categorized into an existing use category. Public and institutional uses may only be established in Urban Areas of the county.

(b) Planning and Review Requirements

• Because of the high degree of public interest in public and institutional uses, proposed development within the P-I zone district is subject to additional planning and review requirements. All proposed development, and all major amendments to previous development approvals, shall be subject to the preparation and approval of a Public-Institutional Master Plan pursuant to Sec. 2-40-100. The Public-Institutional Master Plan shall cover the entirety of the property, and shall address all permitted activities/uses on the property. Only those uses, activities, and facilities shown on the approved Public-Institutional Master Plan shall be permitted. Minor amendments to previous development approvals may be approved by staff pursuant to the Public-Institutional Master Plan procedure in Sec. 2-40-100.
