PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code discussed above would require the following changes to the Zoning Code: (Amendments shown in part for the sale of brevity. Please refer to Planning Department Exhibit 2 for the draft bill for an Ordinance and amendments shown in full context): Amendment No. 1: Relating to Division 6 - Use Permits Section 25-2-61. Applicability; use permit required. (a) The following uses shall be pennitted within designated County zoning districts only if a use permit is obtained for the use from the commission: (8) Major outdoor amusement and recreation facilities in ]RCX, RA, A, CN, CG, CV, MCX, ML, MG and O districts Purpose of Amendment: This proposed amendment will remove the option for allowing major outdoor amusement and recreational facilities in the RS, RD and RM zoning districts with the approval of a Use Permit. Reasons for Amendment: From the time that the Zoning Code was amended in December of 1996 until the present day, it does not appear that there has been an approval of a Use Pen-nit to allow any major outdoor amusement and recreational facilities within the RS, RD or RM zoning districts. Upon further review of these options within the Zoning Code, the Planning Director is recommending that these options be removed as they are not compatible in the residential zoning districts. Additionally, the Planning Director feels that there are other more compatible zoning districts that would continue to allow a major outdoor amusement and recreational facility with a Use Permit, including RCX, CN, CG, CV, MCX, ML, MG and O. -2-
