*Limited Non-Agricultural Use Provision Property owners in an agricultural zone (MU-40, A-3, A-5) may apply for a conditional use permit to utilize up to fifteen percent (15%) of their total parcel area for non-agricultural revenue-generating enterprises. The proposed use must be: a. Compatible with the rural character of the area. b. Not a detriment to surrounding agricultural operations. c. Compliant with all applicable state and local regulations. The conditional use permit shall be reviewed by the Conditional Use Review Committee and Planning Commission with conditions as necessary to mitigate potential impacts. Examples of permitted non-agricultural conditional uses include, but are not limited to: Small-scale retail sales (e.g., farm stores, artisan goods) Agricultural tourism (e.g., farm stays, event venues) Professional services (e.g., home-based businesses) Limited light manufacturing (e.g., woodworking, small-scale food production) The City may impose additional requirements regarding parking, traffic, noise, hours of operation, and environmental considerations | ||||||
The Table in this Section provides a listing of permitted and conditionally permitted uses for multiple-use, agricultural, and residential zones within the city. The Table in this section is not comprehensive. In the event a sought-after use is not listed, the City Planner is empowered to interpret the list and determine if the unlisted use substantially similar in character, origin, and impact to a listed use. In making this determination, the City Planner may, at their sole discretion, ask the Planning Commission for its review and interpretation.
