13.10.362 Public and community facilities uses.

(a) Principal Permitted Uses.
(1) In the Coastal Zone, the principal permitted uses in the Public and Community Facilities District shall be public and private institutional uses and public facilities, such as day-care centers, churches, hospitals, libraries, community centers, schools, fire stations, private clubs and lodges, and public administrative buildings, including appurtenant uses and structures.
(2) All of the uses listed in the “PF” Uses Chart in subsection (b) of this section are principal permitted uses. In the Coastal Zone, actions to approve principal permitted uses are not appealable to the Coastal Commission except for specific geographic areas or public works projects in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.20.122 of the County Code relating to Coastal Commission appeals, although in some cases, as provided in Chapter 13.20, any development is appealable.
(b) Allowed Uses.
(1) The uses allowed in the Public and Community Facilities District shall be as provided in the Public and Community Facilities Use Chart below. A discretionary approval for an allowed use is known as a “Use Approval” and is given as part of a “Development Permit” for a particular use. The type of permit processing review, or “Approval Level,” required for each use in the zone district is indicated in the chart. The processing procedures for Development Permits and for the various Approval Levels are detailed in Chapter 18.10 Permit and Approval Procedures. The Approval Levels given in this chart for structures incorporate the Approval Levels necessary for processing a building permit for the structure. Higher Approval Levels than those listed in this chart for a particular use may be required if a project requires other concurrent Approvals, according to Section 18.10.123.
(2) Timber harvesting and associated operations, requiring approval of a Timber Harvesting Plan by the California Department of Forestry, are not allowed uses in the Public and Community Facility zone district.
