Inyo County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Inyo County

§ 18.72.010. Public districts—Generally.

Public districts are created to apply to land that is owned by a governmental agency and is in some form of public or quasi-public use, including open space, parks, schools, utilities and services, and other public buildings and facilities. The purpose of designating such land as a "P" district on the zoning map is to relate the zoning map to major elements of actual land use and the county-wide general plan. (Ord. 943 § 4, 1994; Ord. 1187 § 6, 2014)

§ 18.72.020. Intent.

The public district is intended to provide zoning regulations for such land and buildings as may be used for public and quasi-public purposes, but which may in the future be released for private purposes or which may be developed for more intensive public purposes. (Ord. 943 § 4, 1994; Ord. 1187 § 7, 2014)

§ 18.72.030. Permitted uses.

The following principal uses are permitted in the P district:

  • A. Buildings and causes of governmental agencies not subject to regulation by this code;

  • B. Public buildings and uses of the county and other governmental agencies that are subject to regulation by this code, when in conformity with the general plan and the provisions of other applicable laws.

  • (Ord. 943 § 4, 1994)

§ 18.72.040. Conditional uses.

The following are conditional uses in the P zone:

  • A. One dwelling unit on a lot or parcel where there exists an otherwise permitted or conditionally permitted use, when such dwelling is to be used exclusively by a caretaker, superintendent or manager for the permitted or conditionally permitted use; such dwelling may be a mobilehome.

  • B. Public/quasi-public buildings and uses of recreational, religious, cultural or public service nature not listed under permitted uses.

  • (Ord. 943 § 4, 1994; Ord. 1187 § 8, 2014)
