The purpose of the Recreation district is to identify, protect, and provide for the use of lands and structures for recreation activities. The purpose is further to ensure compatibility between the scale, extent, character, and location of these uses, surrounding development, local needs for recreation facilities, environmental suitabilities, and the limits of supporting infrastructure.

Table 5-2, in Section 505.1, identifies the principally permitted and accessory uses within the R district.

Table 5-2, in Section 505.1, identifies those uses which are conditionally permitted within the R district, subject to the approval and qualifications of the Board of Adjustment provided: a) the activity is of integral relation to and directly in support of the recreation activity, b) the use, building or structure is subservient to and not of scale, nature advertisement, trade, or other character which will compete, detract, or conflict with the principal purpose of the district; c) the activity is necessary to serve the specified public or membership engaged in the principal purpose so long as the service area, use, scale, or other character of the activity does not overpower, transient, or conflict with the principal purpose of the district or immediate environs surrounding; and d) provided the arrangement of use, building or structure is mutually compatible with the organization or permitted and accessory uses to be protected in the district.

There are no minimum or average intensities common to recreational uses; rather the intensity or use in a recreational district shall be based on the performance standards determined unique to each use and its affected lands. However, all structures associated with any Principally Permitted, Accessory, and/or Conditional use in the Recreation district shall be subject to the C-2 zoning district intensity standards.

There is no minimum size or extent of land common to recreational uses or districts; rather a recreational district may include a single private or public lot of record if the general performance of the specific use and its affected lands so merits.

The following standards shall apply to any permitted, accessory, or conditional use and structure in this district:

1. 1.
   The operation of any accessory or conditional use shall be pursuant and subservient to the purposes of the normal permitted recreational activity.
2. 2.
   No use shall include the feeding, sheltering, penning of animals, fowl, the storage of refuse, or compost within one hundred (100) feet of any adjacent property not used for agricultural purposes.
3. 3.
   All uses in a Recreation district shall be conducted in conformance with ARTICLE 30 - Site Plan Review.
4. 4.
   See SECTION 3111 for dimensional standards.
