§ 16.50.390.1. Introduction.

Social service agencies constitute a complex mixture of operational activities, including administrative offices, counseling offices, residential housing, and food distribution. Each of these activities has a different need for public services and infrastructure and a different potential impact on surrounding properties. This section is established to differentiate social service agency uses on the basis of the activity to be conducted at specific locations, allowing the operational needs and impacts of the use to be addressed through designation to the appropriate zoning districts to ensure land use compatibility and adequate public services, and through review procedures designed to identify and mitigate potential impacts.
