The OS recreation/open space district is intended for outdoor sports and recreational activities in which the participants are actively engaged, but which may also provide entertainment for spectators but which activities are not of a commercial, profit-making nature. The activities for which the OS district is provided are normally and primarily conducted in the open air while related accessory uses may be in the open air or in a building or structure. The functional characteristics of an OS district may require its location within, or in close relationship to, residential areas, public recreational areas or scenic areas. Because of the nature of uses involved and the variety of arrangements of uses and facilities on the site plan of development, broad general regulations for plot size, yards, setbacks and height must be adequate for any location at which an OS district may be established.
