A. The public-institutional district is intended to provide for the siting and maintenance of publicly owned facilities and institutions which could not be reasonably sited in any other district.

B. “Public facilities” are defined in RCW 36.70A.030(12) as streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreational facilities and schools. The term “public facilities,” as used in this chapter, shall mean any use, activity or facility which is owned and operated by the city of Gig Harbor, the Peninsula School District, Pierce County or any incorporated city within Pierce County and the state of Washington, including any office of the state of Washington.

C. For existing facilities, the PI district shall be applied accordingly. For new facilities, the PI district shall be applied in conjunction with an application for site plan review. (Ord. 1046 § 80, 2006; Ord. 706 § 1, 1996).
