Sec. 98-873(l)

Recreational facilities shall be designed in a manner which minimizes their impacts on adjacent properties.

Where recreation areas or facilities are proposed as a part of a residential development where housing units or lots are offered for sale, the areas or facilities shall be completed or substantially completed prior to the issuance of certificates of zoning for any adjacent residential units.

Recreational uses and facilities shall be designed in a manner which will promote and protect public safety. This shall include without limitation, effective security and safety lighting along pedestrian and bicycle routes and within parking lots, appropriate clear zones and surface around and beneath play apparatus, provision of emergency telephone capability, and such other similar things as the zoning administrator may deem appropriate or necessary.

Security fencing, where required or desirable, shall be of a type which is compatible with the overall architecture, scale, and character of the recreation facility and the community which it serves.

The zoning administrator may waive the requirement for completion and full plan implementation prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy and, further, may waive some or all of the normally applicable surety requirements for recreational facility development which occurs after the community which it serves has been fully developed and where the type and financing of the community organization undertaking the project would so warrant.
