A. For public facilities. Recognizes the valuable role played by public facilities in serving governmental, medical, educational, cultural and religious needs of the community by facilitating their siting and development over time. Master plan regulations provide the vehicle for large-scale, multi-phased public facilities by obtaining approval of several projects at one time and coordinating future provision of infrastructure capacity.

B. For adjacent property owners and neighborhood associations. Permits local property owners and neighborhood associations to evaluate the cumulative impacts associated with the full build-out of large-scale public facilities and to influence the design and development standards and conditions of operation necessary to minimize these impacts so as to protect the character of the surrounding areas.

C. For the City. Permits the city to ensure a full range of public facilities and services are available throughout the community to meet the governmental, medical, educational, cultural and religious needs of its citizens; to plan the extension of public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner; and to ensure that the development of public facilities are compatible with community character and values.
