6/6/2024


In all #Residence Districts#, the City Planning Commission may permit a non-commercial outdoor swimming pool club, or any
non-commercial club with an outdoor swimming pool located less than 500 feet from any #lot line#, provided that the following
findings are made:

(a)    that such #use# is so located as not to impair the essential character or future use or development of the nearby residential
        neighborhood;

(b)    that such #use# is so located as to draw a minimum of vehicular traffic to and through local #streets#;

(c)    that such #use# has adequate reservoir space at the vehicular entrance to prevent the congestion of automobiles on the
        #streets#;

(d)    that in R1, R2, R3 or R4 Districts, the pool or any #accessory# facilities affixed to the land are not located closer than
        100 feet or, in the case of an #accessory# outdoor tennis court, such tennis court shall not be closer than 20 feet, to any
        #side# or #rear lot line# coincident with a #side# or #rear lot line# of an adjoining #zoning lot# in a #Residence District#,
        and not located closer than 50 feet to any #street line#, and that any planned temporary enclosure such as an air-
        supported structure be indicated on the plans submitted with this application, and in no event shall such a structure be
        located closer than 50 feet from any #street# or #lot line#, if such a structure is planned subsequent to the approval of
        the special permit, then an amended application subject to the same approvals of this Section shall be submitted; and

(e)    that for every 200 square feet of #lot area# used for the pool and its #accessory# facilities, one #accessory# off-street
        parking space is provided.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area, including limitations on #signs# or the hours of operation, or requirements for shielding of floodlights,
screening or surfacing of all access roads or driveways.
