Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />Robert M. eati , AyP <br />men <br />Devel '£ Director <br />Community .41-&p <br />FROM: Stan Boling, AICP <br />Chief, Current Development <br />DATE: September 25, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: ORDINANCE MODIFYING AND ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS <br />RELATING TO ZONING DISTRICT LOCATION AND DEVELOPMENT <br />CRITERIA FOR UNENCLOSED AMUSEMENTS <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />.consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular <br />meeting of October 17, 1989. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />;The Board of County Commissioners recently directed staff to <br />Fie -address regulations relating to unenclosed commercial amuse- <br />ments. Unenclosed commercial amusements by Zoning Code definition <br />;include drive-ins, miniature golf courses, driving ranges, animal <br />:or vehicular race tracks, amusement parks and stadiums. Staff was <br />'directed to readdress those zoning districts where such uses are <br />or should be allowed (permitted use, administrative permit, <br />special exception use) and to draft development criteria. <br />The need to readdress existing regulations has been highlighted by <br />a court decision and subsequent Board of Adjustment action taken <br />earlier this year which effectively allows at least some unen- <br />closed commercial amusements in the CG district as permitted uses. <br />Staff has reviewed all existing code elements regulating unen- <br />closed commercial uses. The resulting proposed ordinance is <br />intended to clarify and establish two requirements: where and by <br />what review process certain unenclosed commercial amusements are <br />allowed, and what minimum development criteria shall apply to <br />certain unenclosed commercial amusements. <br />At its regular meeting of September 14, 1989 the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of <br />County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment as it appears at <br />the end of this report (see attachment #1). <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The proposed regulations specifically treat three types of unen- <br />closed commercial amusements separately from all other unenclosed <br />commercial amusements. Specific review processes and development <br />criteria are established for: miniature golf courses, driving' <br />ranges, and sports stadiums. All other unenclosed commercial <br />amusements are treated together as one general use type. <br />The following describes each section within the proposed ordi- <br />nance. <br />1. Section 1: "driving ranges" are added to the list of admin- <br />istrative permit uses in the A-1 district and would be <br />allowed only in A-1 districts having a non-residential land <br />use designation. <br />-1- <br />20 <br />
