Title: Text Amendment Regarding Outdoor Recreation Uses in Office Research Limited Industrial [ORL] District - A property owner request to amend the use restrictions for the ORL (Office Research Limited Industrial) district to revise Section 5:10.14A, Special Exception Uses, to allow for both indoor and outdoor recreational uses. Currently, only enclosed recreational facilities that have received special exception use approval from the Planning Commission are allowed in this district. The revised ordinance would delete the word "enclosed", thereby allowing "Places of recreation such as bowling alley, tennis courts, health club" if the use meets the standards of Section 5:104 of the zoning ordinance and is approved by the Planning Commission after a duly noticed public hearing. Staff Recommendation: Approval
