Quasi-Public (QP) Zone
17.35.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the Quasi-Public (QP) District is to establish a location for government or other public-serving uses that are necessary to serve the day-to-day needs of the city’s residents. These uses often involve moderate traffic and thus may require better access than would be afforded by a local residential street. These include uses such as fire stations, post offices,
libraries, government centers, child care facilities, churches religious facilities and professional offices.
17.35.020 Permitted uses and structures.
(B) Public and quasi-public facilities and service uses, including, but not limited to, the following:

Adult Use Zoning Regulations
17.41.010 Findings.
It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to provide for the reasonable and uniform regulation of adult businesses in the city. It is recognized that adult businesses have a serious deleterious effect upon adjacent areas, as well as the areas in which they are located. It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to establish criteria and standards for the establishment and conduct of adult businesses which will protect the public health, safety, and welfare, preserve locally recognized values of community appearance, minimize the potential for nuisances related to the operation of adult businesses, and maintain local property values. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to establish proper regulations and to provide for a reasonable number of approximately located sites for adult businesses within the city, based upon the following findings:
(E) The special regulation of adult businesses is necessary to ensure that their adverse secondary effects will not contribute to an increase in the crime rates or the blighting or downgrading of the areas in which they are located or surrounding areas. The need for the special regulation is based on the recognition that adult businesses have serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances or located in direct proximity with sensitive uses such as residential zones and uses, parks, schools, churches religious facilities or day care centers, thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. (G) The protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare require that certain distances be maintained between adult businesses and residential uses and zones, churches religious facilities, schools, day care centers, parks, and other adult businesses.
17.41.140 Location, design, and performance standards.
(A) An adult business shall not be established or located within 500 feet of:
(2) Any Church religious facility, chapel or similar place of worship or property zoned, planned or otherwise designated for such use by city action; Chapter 17.44
