During the last public hearing cycle,two <br /> requests were submitted for rezoning to the Agricultural Service Zoning district. One of the <br /> applicants Intended to build a mini-warehouse storage facility,a use which is inconsistent with the <br /> intent of the AS district but is included in the list of permitted uses. Several years ago a similar <br /> rezoning request in the White Cross area was denied. The Planning Staff initiated an ordinance <br /> amendment to refine the scope of the Agricultural Service district before more requests for <br /> rezoning are submitted. Staff examined the intent of the district and the list of land uses permitted <br /> within it. The recommended changes to the ordinance are summarized as follows: <br /> Revisions to DeRnitinns, <br /> 'The proposed revision to the definition of agricultural services will describe that type of land use in <br /> general and provide additional examples of uses such as a welding service and retail sales of farm <br /> and garden products, supplies, and equipment. <br /> 'A definition of Adhrg stable Is also proposed to clarify that the category in the Permitted Use Table <br /> refers to a commercial use, not a private facility. <br /> Revisions to the Permitted Use Table <br /> "To allow Agricultural Service uses in the General Commercial zoning district <br /> 'To Delete the folbwing uses that are not consistent with the intent of the AS district: <br /> "850 Storage of Goods, Outdoor <br /> *`S51 Storage and Warehousing: Inside Building <br /> "S51a Studio(Art) <br /> CONINS TS AN=ft QUES37ON2 FROM THE BOARD OF CONS LWI1ONERS• <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked for clarf&:atlon of the item P9 Extraction of Earth Products. <br /> Ms. Cameron Indicated that this extractiort of earth products is a land based use and is currently <br /> allowed as a Special Use In the Agricultural Residential Zoning District. Planning staff felt that it <br /> was consistent to allow it in the AS district because it is land based and is allowed in the same <br /> land use plan eaeegory with a Special Use Permit <br /> QCWHENTS ANEWIR 01 ESMON12 EX=THE PLANNING • None <br /> • Now <br />
