Restaurants (full service, limited service/fast food, take-out only) and general markets are permitted (P) with supplementary standards under MCC 18.120.030 (alcoholic beverage sales), MCC 18.120.100 (eating and drinking uses), and MCC 18.120.190 (outdoor dining).

Note the live GIS zoning layer's "GC" abbreviation is ambiguous and is also used for legacy General Rural Zone and Light Industry and Warehouse Zone parcels; verify the parcel's actual current zoning before relying on GC district rules.

Developed and undeveloped park lands and permanent recreation open space; may include trails and low-impact public recreational uses. Access may be restricted near sensitive habitat or public-danger areas. Abbreviation "PR" independently confirmed against MCC 18.10.010's base-district list this session (earlier draft used the invented label "OS-P"). review-gated: dimensional standards not captured this session (Table 18.55.030 is image-rendered on the source page); confirm MCC 18.55.030 directly.

Privately owned parkland and privately owned recreational open space. Allowed uses include parks and recreational facilities, supporting commercial and entertainment facilities, and agricultural and other open space uses. This district was missing entirely from the original draft of this pack; added this session as a disclosed completeness fix after MCC 18.10.010 confirmed three base open-space districts (PR, POS, C) exist, not two. review-gated: dimensional standards not captured this session (Table 18.55.030 is image-rendered on the source page); confirm MCC 18.55.030 directly.

Permanent open space including environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife corridors, waterways, and deserts; limits development where police/fire access, stormwater flooding protection, or erosion mitigation would impose excessive community costs. Abbreviation "C" independently confirmed against MCC 18.10.010's base-district list this session (earlier draft used the invented label "OS-C"). Caution: the bare letter "C" is also a use-table permit symbol (conditional use permit) elsewhere in Title 18; do not confuse this district code with that unrelated usage. review-gated: dimensional standards not captured this session (Table 18.55.030 is image-rendered on the source page); confirm MCC 18.55.030 directly.

Public or quasi-public facilities: city facilities, utilities, schools (including colleges/trade schools), health services, public works yards, utility stations, telecommunications facilities. Accessory retail uses/services including food facilities and childcare are permitted. Note: MCC 18.10.010's own base-district list names only PR, POS, and C for open space/institutional districts and does not separately list "PI"; the PI abbreviation is confirmed only via the GIS layer's distinct-values list, independently re-confirmed this session, not via the 18.10.010 code text itself. review-gated: dimensional standards not captured this session (Table 18.55.030 is image-rendered on the source page); confirm MCC 18.55.030 directly.

Uses, densities, dimensional standards, and design are set entirely by the adopted PAD ordinance and its design guidelines for that specific development; traditional bulk and use specifications elsewhere in Title 18 do not apply where the PAD supersedes them (MCC 18.60.010(B)). Where PAD zoning is deemed appropriate, standards and design fulfilling the general plan replace standard district regulations (MCC 18.60.010(C)). Confirm the specific adopted PAD ordinance for the parcel before relying on any rule in this pack.
