Bradshaw has requested that Golf Driving <br /> and Practice Ranges be permitted uses in the <br /> Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential <br /> (R-1) zoning districts. These ranges are currently <br /> considered as Recreational Facilities for profit and <br /> are permitted uses in the Community Commercial (CC-3) , <br /> General Commercial (GC-4) and Industrial-1 (I-1) <br /> zones. Although Golf Driving and Practice Ranges may <br /> be appropriate in low density residential areas, <br /> special conditions should be attached which allow for <br /> minimum disturbance in residential areas. This <br /> amendment would specifically set up a Golf Driving and <br /> Practice Range as a Class B Special Use Permit and <br /> provide specific standards that would apply in <br /> Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential <br /> (R-1) zones. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed <br /> amendment. <br />
