In the event a special use permitted by this chapter is approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall establish area, lot and height restrictions for the special use, unless such regulations are already set forth in this chapter, or in other chapters of this Planning and Zoning Code.
(a) No building constructed as a U8 special use shall exceed a maximum height of 35 feet, except churches, schools and libraries shall not exceed a maximum height of 50 feet. A public water supply reservoir, tower or filter bed may exceed 50 feet, but not more than a maximum height of 75 feet, so long as such structure is at least 100 feet from any property line.
(b) Every lot occupied by a main building or use as a U8 special use shall comply with the requirements for the percentage of lot coverage, for buildings (intending to exclude other structures) indicating the following schedule:
Permitted Main Building or Use | Lot Coverage Maximum |
Churches, schools, public libraries, public museums, community set or buildings | 20% |
Hospital or sanitarium other than for the insane or feeble minded | 15% |
Public recreation building | 20% |
electric substation, telephone exchange, Brewster station for natural gas distributed by public utility | 20% |
City Hall, Fire Station, Police Station and the like or similar public or quasi-public building | 20% |
(c) Forty percent of the area of any rear yard may be occupied by a one story accessory building, but on a corner lot no such accessory building, if detached from the main building, shall be erected within 20 feet of the street line and no such accessory building, unless located 50 feet or more back from the street line, shall be erected within 10 feet of the rear lot line.
(d) Building Lines. The building lines shall be 75 feet from the center line of the street.
(e) The side yard setback for any U8 special use shall be 50 feet unless otherwise established by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(f) The rear yard setback for all U8 special uses shall be 50 feet unless the Board of Zoning Appeals establishes a different setback. They also need to decide if the setbacks should be different when abutting residential districts.
(g) The Board of Zoning Appeals shall establish greater front, rear and side yard setbacks when the special use abuts a residential district and a greater setback is necessary for the avoidance or mitigation of being adjacent to a special use. Any active recreational activities shall be set back at least 100 feet from any lot line. Any electric substation, or a sewage disposal plant shall be setback 100 feet from any lot line.
