The definition is as <br />follows: <br /> <br />COMMERCIAL RECREATION: A building, structure or open space <br />designed, constructed and operated by private enterprise for <br />recreational purposes and open to the general public. The <br />facility must meet the minimum lot size of the zoning <br />district. Such facilities may include bowling alleys, tennis <br />courts and other leisure uses. <br /> <br />The Council, as a condition of approval, could limit the commercial recreation <br />to indoor use only. <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance <br /> <br />With Ordinance Amendment OA 98-6, commercial recreation is permitted as <br />a conditional use with retail shops as an accessory use. <br /> <br />Of the other possible uses proposed for the site; office and warehouses are <br />permitted, the outdoor storage is a conditional use in the I1 zone if it is <br />accessory to the principle use, and the used auto sales are not permitted. <br /> <br />Site Access <br /> <br />Cleveland Street is a gravel Road from Highway 10 with an uncontrolled <br />intersection. The primary entrance is newly paved and shared with <br />Furniture And Things. A secondary gravel entrance drive with a gate across <br />it, adjacent the west property line, has served as the primary truck access to <br />the loading docks. <br /> <br />Both entrances to the site should be improved with pavement and <br />appropriate striping and the gate removed. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\ccmmo\cu9827cc.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
