Outdoor theaters may be permitted in the GB General Business or I Industrial Districts subject to the following special land use approval requirements.
(A) Because outdoor theaters possess the unique characteristics of being used only after darkness and since they develop a concentration of vehicular traffic in terms of ingress and egress from their parking area, they shall only be permitted when the site in question is surrounded by a nonresidential district.
(B) The proposed internal design shall receive approval from the Building Inspector as to adequacy of drainage, lighting, screening and other technical aspects.
(C) Points of ingress and egress shall be available to the outdoor theater only from abutting major thoroughfares.
(D) All vehicles waiting or standing to enter the facility shall be provided off-street waiting space. No vehicle shall be permitted to wait or to stand within a dedicated right-of-way.
(E) The area shall be laid out and screened so as to prevent the movie screen from being viewed from residential areas or adjacent major thoroughfares. All lighting used to illuminate the area shall be so installed so as to be confined within, and directed onto the premises of the outdoor theater site.
(F) All sides of the development not abutting a major thoroughfare shall be screened with a fence or wall so as to obscure from view all activities within the development.
