Planning & Development Director Robert Keating <br />explained that even after three workshops, staff could not <br />determine when exactly extraction was an accessory use, how <br />much juice can be squeezed, how large the equipment should <br />be, or whether juice had to be sold from the site only. He <br />pointed out that these commercial use issues must be <br />resolved before the new zoning code can be completed. This <br />amendment, however, will not affect those establishments <br />that have juice extractions as an accessory use. This just <br />relates to principal uses of either extraction or <br />processing. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked who is going to determine <br />what a "large scale" industrial activity constitutes, as <br />defined under Fruit & Vegetable Processing on Page 1 of the <br />proposed ordinance, and Director Keating suggested that <br />"large scale" be deleted from that definition. <br />Director Keating stated that it is staff's feelings, <br />and those of the Planning & Zoning Commission, that a <br />separate use of juice extraction does not fit in the general <br />commercial district, but could fit into other zoning <br />districts besides industrial, such as heavy manufacturing or <br />agricultural. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Meeting and asked <br />if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were <br />none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Ordinance 84-70, amending Zoning Ordinance <br />71-3 concerning fruit and vegetable juice <br />extraction, with the change as noted by Director <br />Keating. <br />31 <br />CT 10 1984 BOOK 58 FA,E 588 <br />
