Golf Driving and Practice <br />Ranges would be classified as a Class B Special Use in the <br />Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential (R -1) <br />zones. They would be permitted uses in the Community <br />Commercial (CC -3), General Commercial (GC -4), and Industrial - <br />1 (I -1) zones. <br />IMPACTS /ISSURG: <br />Golf Driving and Practice Ranges are currently considered as <br />Recreational Facilities for profit and are permitted uses in <br />the Community Commercial (CC -3), General Commercial (GC -4) <br />and Industrial -1 (I -1) zones. Mr. John T. Bradshaw has <br />requested that these ranges be permitted in the AR and R -1 <br />residential districts. These ranges may be appropriate in <br />low density residential areas, however, special conditions <br />should be attached which allow for minimum disturbance in <br />residential areas. This amendment would specifically set up <br />a Golf Driving and Practice Range as a Class B Special Use <br />Permit and - provide specific standards that would apply in <br />Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential (R -1) <br />zones. <br />EXISTING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS: <br />Article 8.8.6 - RESERVED <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENT: <br />8.8.6 Golf Driving and Practice Range LClass B Special Use) <br />8.8.6.1 Additiona-1_Information <br />
