A. Swimming pools, hot tubs and spas shall be constructed at least fifty feet from the front line unless a different location is approved by the planning commission upon securing a use permit. Such pool, hot tub, or spa may not be located closer than five feet from any rear or side lot line. On the street side of any corner where the rear of the lot abuts the side lot line, no pool, hot tub, or spa shall be located closer than ten feet to such lot line. The planning commission may reduce these requirements by twenty-five percent upon securing a use permit in each case or eliminate the setback requirement between a spa or hot tub and a common area property line in the RT/PD, C-2/PD, or R-3/PD districts upon securing architectural review approval by the planning commission in each planned development.

B. Filter and heating systems for such pools, hot tubs, and spas shall not be located closer than five feet to the property line except that the planning commission may eliminate the setback requirements between a spa or hot tub and a common area property line in the RT/RD, C-2/PD, or R-3/PD districts upon securing architectural review approval in each planned development.

C. All swimming pools shall be completely enclosed by a fence at least six feet in height with no openings large enough to permit access to a small child, unless it is determined by the chief building official that the equivalent of such a fence is otherwise provided. All gates shall be self-latching. (Ord. 437 § 2, 1997: Ord. 391 § 2 Exh. A (part), 1992; Ord. 371 § 25, 1989: Ord. 38 § 1 (part), 1972: prior code § 10-406.400)
