A. Characteristics. Community Services are uses of a public, non-profit, or charitable nature generally providing a local service to people of the community. Generally, they provide the service on the site or have employees at the site on a regular basis. The service is ongoing, not just for special events. Community centers or facilities that have membership provisions are open to the general public to join at any time (for instance, any senior citizen could join a senior center). The use can also provide special counseling, education, training or supervision on a residential or outpatient basis of a public, nonprofit or charitable nature.

B. Accessory Uses. Accessory uses may include offices; meeting areas; food preparation areas; parking, health and therapy areas; daycare uses; and athletic facilities.

C. Examples. Examples include libraries, museums, senior centers, community centers, publicly owned swimming pools, youth club facilities, hospices, police stations, fire stations, ambulance stations, drug and alcohol treatment centers, social service facilities for post or alternative incarceration or for alternative to prosecution programs, vocational training for the physically or mentally disabled, crematoriums, columbariums, and mausoleums.
