Existing Land Use Plan Designation – Public/Semi-Public and Office Commercial
Purpose and Definition: Public Parks/Open Space are public areas designated for active and
passive recreation, such as parks and athletic complexes, and public open space for the
preservation of the scenic vistas and natural vegetation of the City. This Land Use Plan depicts
only existing Public Parks/Open Space facilities; potential Public Parks/Open Space sites are
illustrated in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.
The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and intended for the
exclusive use of office and limited office-related activities. It is established for and will be
allocated to those districts best suited for supporting commercial activity of an office character. It
has been established to encourage and permit general professional and business offices of high
quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of uses and
design exterior appearance so controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future
adjacent and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation may serve
as a transition between established residential neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail
development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and
