Article 5: Uses 59 Section 5.6: Standards for Commercial Uses (d) If the Boar t Commissioners does not r e permit, the permit shall become nul a e expiration of the time limit. (e) If the Spec ermit is not renewed or re -ap then the affpfir ant may submit a new application as if it were a new use. 5.6.10 Microbrewery with Minor Events (A) Standards for Class B Special Use Permit or ASE -CZ or MPD -CZ Zoning Districts (1) In addition to the requirements in Section 2.7 or 2.9, as applicable, the following information shall be submitted with the application materials: (a) Description of special events to be held on -site, including frequency of events, hours of operation, anticipated attendance, and any other pertinent details. (b) Location of overflow parking area(s) if required parking is not anticipated to accommodate all special events. (c) A map depicting surrounding uses and the distance to residential structures. (d) A description of retail sales and facility tours, if proposed. (e) A comprehensive groundwater study, for facilities expected to use more thaR 240 gallons e groundwater per day per acre of lot aFea on an annual basis than an average single family residence (which uses 240 gallons of water per day) built at the highest density the existing zoning district would allow. For example, if the existing zoning district allows a residential density of 1 unit for 2 acres and the proposed use is on a six acre parcel (which could yield 3 residences), the proposed use(s) may use three times the water used by an average single family residence (or 720 gallons per day, on an annualized basis) before a comprehensive groundwater study is required. The water usage rates of any existing use subject to zoning regulations located on the same lot shall be taken into account when determining if a comprehensive groundwater study is required. Said study shall detail:25 (i) The amount of water anticipated to be used on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis by regulated uses located on the parcel (e.g., water usage by bona fide farm uses is not required to be included); (ii) An analysis of the amount of groundwater withdrawal considered to be safe and sustainable in the immediate vicinity; and (iii) An analysis of whether other wells in the vicinity of the proposed use will are expected to be affected by withdrawals made by the proposed use. (2) Site shall have direct access to a major road, as classified in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, and shall use said road as the primary access, unless approved otherwise in the permit. 25 This standard and requirement is consistent with a similar requirement for uses in the REDA -CZ zoning district. 240 gallons per day was used as the "cut off" because it is the average amount used by a single family residence. The amount of water used by an average single family residence, constructed at the density the existing zoning district allows, is used as the baseline standard because residences are the predominant land uses in the county and the most likely "by right" uses to be constructed. Text shown in blue was presented as a change to the proposed text at the February 24, 2014 quarterly public hearing. Text shown in green is clarifying text added after the quarterly public hearing in response to questions at the public hearing.
