Riding and
Boarding Stable Setbacks
In conjunction with special permit approval for a riding and boarding stable in the R-A, R-P, R-C, R-E and R-1 Districts and in the PDH and PRC Districts when not shown on an approved development plan, allow the Board of Zoning Appeals to reduce the minimum setback requirement for riding rings and structures associated with riding and boarding stables from 100 feet from any lot line to as low as 0 feet and to reduce the minimum required distance between parking and loading spaces for riding and boarding stables and any adjoining residentially zoned property from 50 feet to as low as 0 feet when the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the BZA that such setback(s) is not necessary to minimize any adverse impacts on adjacent properties due to one or more of the following: (A) Specific operational characteristics of the riding and boarding stable such as the limits on the: number of horses, students and employees; use of outdoor lighting and public address systems; hours of operations; number and frequency of special events; and amount and type of outdoor activity. (B) Conditions which adequately buffer adjacent properties from the riding and boarding stable, which may include but are not limited to: topography, vegetation, location and/or orientation of on-site structures, proximity of adjacent dwelling units, development of adjacent properties with non-residential uses, and/or existence of roads and/or major utilities.
