PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 21 1 1- <br /> ORDINANCE: ZONING ORDINANCE <br /> REFERENCE: Article 8.8. 6 <br /> Article 4. 3 Permitted Use Table <br /> ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: Staff Planning Board <br /> BOCC x Public <br /> Other: <br /> STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: High Middle x Low <br /> Comment: — ` <br /> EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: February 25, 1991 <br /> PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: <br /> To add a new section addressing Golf Driving and Practice <br /> Ranges to the Zoning Ordinance. 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/ISSUES: <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. A 50 foot buffer around the perimeter of <br /> the property will provide a necessary screen from adjacent <br /> residential properties. The large amount of land required, <br /> buffer, and review by the Recreation and Parks Director will <br /> adequately provide for traffic, orientation, and screening <br /> around the parking. 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 Class B Special Use <br /> 8.8. 6.1 Additional Information <br />
