Educational institution (EI) zoning district—Purpose

The purpose of the EI zone is to permit the continued viability and expansion of higher education institutions in designated districts of the city in a planned manner, while protecting surrounding cultural, historic, and environmental resources. It is recognized that higher education institutions exist in the city. In order to recognize this existing development and to permit these institutions to grow and expand, an EI zone has been incorporated into the schedule of uses and the schedule of intensity regulations. The standards and criteria for the EI zone are created and set forth below. Specific areas of the city may be mapped on the official zoning map from time to time by the city council, upon appropriate notice and hearing.
