Recreation centers owned by nonprofit organizations as sO registered with the Georgia Secretary of State Office. Ms. Bell explained recreation centers and similar institutions owned by nonprofit organizations registered with the secretary of state are allowed as a conditional use in the A-R zoning, this zoning also allows athletic fields associated with private schools to have lights in the athletic fields until 10:00 pm currently there is not a provision for the lighting of the athletic fields associated with recreation centers, sO this revision ist to create continuity in the ordinance and these are the conditions/items that are part of the conditional use approval for recreational centers, this is aj proposed amendment is simply to add the same language that applies to other recreation centers in A-R; lighting for outdoor athletic facilities should not be permitted after 10:00 pm. John H. Culbreth asked if that was the time the recreational centers closed, right? The Parks closed it? Ms. Bell responded this would not be related to county parks, just recreation centers, like the soccer center and it'st the same requirement that it's associated with athletic fields associated with private schools. John H. Culbreth asked ift this would apply to momproitorganizations ori forprolitorganizations as well?Ms. Bell responded thesei recreation centers must be non-profits. Jim Oliver discussed whether is this specific to the soccer center? We were told that the soccer center is for-profit. He states that they would have to operate for one year as according to the county manager as a for-profit and then could apply for a 501(c) (3). Allie Cox responded what we are doing is making sure the provision is there because is there for churches, and we are adding that together to make sure that lighting is allow at all right now, because there is no provision for lighting and that's the goal, we are not trying to narrow anything to fort these specific group. Ifthey are going to be for-profit this will not apply to them at all. John H. Culbreth asked if we need a vote on this?
