   (a)   Churches and other facilities normally incidental thereto subject to the following conditions:
      (1)   Buildings of greater than the maximum height allowed in Section 1177.01 may be allowed provided front, side and rear yards are increased above the minimum required yards by one foot for each foot of building height that exceeds the maximum height allowed.

   (e)   Private non-commercial recreational areas; institutional or community recreation centers; non-profit swimming pool clubs, all subject to the following conditions:
      (1)   The proposed site for any of the uses permitted herein which would attract persons from, or are intended to serve, areas beyond the immediate neighborhood shall have at least one property line abutting a major thoroughfare as designated on the Major Thoroughfare Plan, and the site shall be so planned as to provide all access in accordance with Section 1187.11.
      (2)   Front, side and rear yards shall be at least eight feet wide, and shall be landscaped in trees, shrubs and grass. All such landscaping shall be maintained in a healthy condition.

      (3)   Off-street parking shall be provided so as to accommodate not less than one-half of the member families and/or individual members. The Planning Commission may modify the off-street parking requirements in those instances wherein it is specifically determined that the users will originate from the immediately adjacent areas, and will therefore be pedestrian. Prior to the issuance of a building permit or zoning compliance permit, by-laws of the organization shall be provided in order to establish the membership involved for computing the off-street parking requirements. In those cases wherein the proposed use or organization does not have by-laws or formal membership, the off-street parking requirement shall be determined by the Planning Commission on the basis of usage.
