LAST AMENDED
6/6/2024

In all #Residence Districts#, the City Planning Commission may permit fire or police stations listed under Use Group IV(A),
provided that the following findings are made:

(a)    that such #use# will serve the residential area within which it is provided to be located; that there are serious difficulties in
        locating it in a district wherein it is permitted as-of-right and from which it could serve the residential area, which make
        it necessary to locate such #use# within a #Residence District#; and

(b)    in the case of fire stations, that such #use# is so located as to minimize the movement of fire apparatus through local
        #streets# in residential areas.

For any such #use#, the Commission may permit appropriate modifications of the applicable regulations of Article II, Chapter
3, provided that such #use# complies with all the applicable district #bulk# regulations for #community facility buildings# as set
forth in Article II, Chapter 4.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions or safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area, including requirements for landscaping.
