Hillsdale City Zoning Code

Sec. 36-463

Outdoor theaters.

Because outdoor theaters possess the unique characteristic of being used only after dark and since they develop concentration of vehicular traffic in terms of ingress and egress from their parking area, they shall be permitted in I districts and in B-3 districts only when the site in question abuts an I district. Outdoor theaters shall further be subject to the following conditions:

(1)

The proposed internal design shall receive approval from the planning commission and the city manager as to adequacy of drainage, lighting and other technical aspects.

(2)

Points of ingress and egress shall be available to and from the outdoor theater, from abutting streets having a right-of-way of at least 66 feet in width.

(3)

All vehicles waiting or standing to enter the facilities shall be provided off-street waiting space. No vehicle shall be permitted to wait or stand within a dedicated right-of-way.

(4)

The area shall be so laid out as to prevent the movie screen from being viewed from residential areas or adjacent major thoroughfares. All lighting used to illuminate the area shall be so installed as to be confined within and directed onto the premises of the outdoor theater site.

(5)

The proposed outdoor theater shall be subject further to the review and approval of the city council.
