Minimum bulk requirements. No portion of any outdoor commercial recreation facility area shall be located closer than 50 feet to any property line. Parking shall not be permitted in the front yard. One or more recreational uses are allowed on a lot.

Location. Outdoor recreation facilities shall be located on-site and in a manner that minimizes any potential impacts on nearby residential properties. Consideration shall be given to locating outdoor facilities away from residential property lines. The Planning Board may require that said facilities be screened through use of vegetation, fencing, or a combination thereof from adjoining residential properties.

Hours of operation. The hours of operation may be limited to minimize impacts associated with noise, lighting, traffic and similar potential effects which may be disruptive to adjoining uses.

Site lighting. A lighting plan shall be provided and designed so as not to negatively impact adjoining residential properties. The Planning Board shall have the power to require downlighting or other mitigation measures to ensure that the lighting of the facility does not violate dark sky guidelines. The Planning Board may approve a light fixture that exceeds the height set forth in the Schedule of Bulk Regulations[1] for an outdoor recreation use, provided that it finds that the lighting is integral to operation of the activity and there will be no detrimental impact on adjoining uses.

Noise. Adequate evidence shall be furnished by the applicant demonstrating that noise levels will not likely disturb nearby residential properties. Such evidence must take into account the nature of the activity, the general demeanor of the participants, the frequency of the activity, and the time and day of the proposed activity. Public address systems are prohibited.

Waste. The site plan shall demonstrate that wastes, including runoff containing fertilizer, pesticides, as well as solid waste will be contained, treated, and disposed of in accordance with applicable local, county, state, and federal regulations. The Planning Board shall approve the location of any port-o-san or other temporary waste disposal system that may be allowed in conjunction with an outdoor recreation facility.

Safety considerations. Where outdoor recreation facilities are allowed, the Planning Board shall consider the need for safety nets and similar design elements to secure stray balls or other equipment from reaching adjoining properties.

Limitation on excess reuses. The square footage of any accessory use to an indoor or outdoor recreation facility shall not exceed 15% of the total square footage of the principal use or structure. The Planning Board shall, however, have the power to modify this requirement in the event that it determines that such modification would not be consistent with the provisions of this law and would not result in a detriment to neighboring properties.

Special considerations. Because the range of recreational activities allowed as components of commercial recreation establishments are broad, and the characteristics and intensity of use may vary, the Planning Board may impose such additional requirements as may be necessary to provide adequate protection to adjoining and nearby properties, considering the proposed activity, the proposed location, and the nature of the adjoining community.
