General Preservation
• Review of Agriculture-Related Definitions and Use Regulations in the Proposed Zoning Code
[continued from 7/15]
Lilly reviewed the Committee's draft comments on the agriculture-related definitions and
regulations in the proposed zoning code. The Committee members agreed that transient retail
and retail that invites onsite consumption require different regulations. Specifically, the
Committee members agreed to recommend that retail operations encouraging onsite
consumption should not be exempt from site plan, consistent with proposed regulation of tasting
rooms. Committee members considered whether to recommend some exemption for minimal
onsite consumption but decided not to recommend discretionary decision-making.
The Committee also reviewed the proposed code's definition of temporary and permanent
greenhouses, compared to the state building code's definition of"greenhouse." The Committee
recommended remaining consistent with the state building code.
