COMMUNITY FACILITIES Facilities for child care providers, places of worship, senior citizens, charities, and a range of other community-serving activities are not traditional residential, industrial, or commercial land uses. Nevertheless, these activities and land uses are important and traditional members of any vital and fully functioning community. Because the organizations which pursue these activities are often non-profh or quasi-for-pro& their financial resources are ofren limited. The land within large-scale developments planned and marketed for upscale homes, shopping centers, and industrial campuses is very often not affordable to these organizations, making it likely that these types of facilities cannot be easily incorporated into the community. The development of large new residential communities through new master plans and spectjic plans creates an additional needfor these community facilities uses in close proximity to the new residences. The purpose of the Community Facilities land use designation is to assure that some land within communities, especially new master plan and specificplan areas, is identified and set aside solely for these types of uses, spect$caBy with the objective that marketforces will ensure that the land so designated will remain affordable to the organizations which build and operate these special community facilities. Further, once the land is set aside, there is a need to guarantee that it does not revert to other uses before the community is sufficiently developed to make use of and 1 provide financial support for the community facilities. To these ends, specific objectives and policies have been set outfor community facilities uses. Pages 16 ~ 20 -renumber to accommodate the insertion of a new #2, above.
