Golf courses may be permitted in the A/R, Agricultural/Residential, R-1A, R-1B, R-1C, R-2 and RM Residential Districts subject to the following special land use approval requirements.
(A) The site is so located as to have at least one property line abutting a major thoroughfare of not less than 120 feet of right-of-way width, either existing or proposed, and all ingress and egress to the site shall be directly onto a major thoroughfare or a marginal access drive thereto.
(B) All development features including the principal building and any accessory buildings or structures are so located and related to minimize the possibility of any adverse effect upon adjacent property. This shall mean a minimum distance of 200 feet to the property line of abutting residentially zoned lands and public rights-of-way provided where topographic conditions are such that the building would be screened from view, the Planning Commission may modify this requirement.
(C) Major accessory uses that are generally of a commercial nature, such as a restaurant and bar, shall be housed in a single building with a clubhouse. Minor accessory uses which are strictly related to the operation of the golf course itself, such as maintenance garage and pro shop, may be located in separate buildings.
(D) Whenever a swimming pool is to be provided, the pool shall be provided with a protective fence six feet in height and entry shall be by means of a controlled gate or turnstile.
(E) Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of § 154.023.
