The Comprehensive Plan shows the area as Mixed Use and the c mmunity center and social <br /> service building fit within this category as they provide a place to shelter residents, distribute <br /> food and a place to worship. <br /> 7. The proposed PD will have zero (0) feet required for the building setbacks and the front yard <br /> parking setback will be 15 feet and there will be no requirement or the parking setbacks for <br /> the side and rear yards.
