Swimming Pool (Community) means a private swimming pool shared by its members, including recreational facilities such as tennis courts as an accessory use. Swimming Pool (Community) does not include swimming pools owned by a homeowner’s association, operated as part of an apartment complex, or pools that are accessory to a dwelling.

B.   Use Standards

Where a Swimming Pool (Community) is allowed as a conditional use, it may be permitted by the Hearing Examiner under Section 7.3.1, Conditional Use (excluding Section 7.3.1.E.1 and 7.3.1.E.3), and the following standards:

1.   The swimming pool, including the pool deck and any buildings, is set back a minimum of 75 feet from any lot line shared with a property zoned Agricultural, Rural Residential, or Residential or at least 125 feet from any existing residential dwelling, whichever is greater.
