Article 5: Uses 202 <br /> Section 5.14: Standards For Manufacturing, Assembly, & Processing, and Distribution Uses- Food <br /> (8) Application materials shall include a comprehensive groundwater study, for <br /> facilities expected to use more groundwater on an annual basis than an average <br /> single family residence (which uses 240 gallons of water per day) built at the <br /> highest density the existing zoning district would allow. For example, if the <br /> existing zoning district allows a residential density of 1 unit for 2 acres and the <br /> proposed use is on a six acre parcel (which could yield 3 residences), the <br /> proposed use(s) may use three times the water used by an average single family <br /> residence (or 720 gallons per day, on an annualized basis) before a <br /> comprehensive groundwater study is required. The water usage rates of any <br /> existing use subject to zoning regulations located on the same lot shall be taken <br /> into account when determining if a comprehensive groundwater study is required. <br /> Said study shall detail: <br /> (a) The amount of water anticipated to be used on a daily, weekly, monthly, <br /> and annual basis by regulated uses located on the parcel (e.g., water <br /> usage by bona fide farm uses is not required to be included); <br /> (b) An analysis of the amount of groundwater withdrawal considered to be <br /> safe and sustainable in the immediate vicinity; and <br /> (c) An analysis of whether other wells in the vicinity of the proposed use are <br /> expected to be affected by withdrawals made by the proposed use. <br /> SECTION • ' MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY <br /> PROCESSING <br /> 5.14 1 Metal Fab rnGatuGn Chin 204 '-� <br /> (A�StandardsM for AV ASE-CZ Zoning DTostrTFt <br /> (1) Facility must be on o bona fide form <br /> (2) Minimum-i size: 3 acres. <br /> (3) Maximum building .sizes3,000 square feet-. <br /> q iarefcct-. <br /> (4) if IGGated adjaGent to residentially zoned property, all buildings and Operations <br /> must be IGGatod a minimum of Ono foot from the property lino <br /> 5.14.1 Manufacturing, Assembly, Processing and Distribution Uses Food <br /> (A) Standards For NC-2 Zoning District <br /> (1) Uses shall be limited to 10,000 sci.ft. of building area.205 <br /> (B) Standards for EDB-1 and EDE-1 Zoning Districts <br /> (1) Uses shall be limited to 20,000 sq.ft. of building area.2os <br /> 5.14.2 Microbreweryedtien only <br /> (A) Use Standards <br /> zoo Moved to Section 5.15 Standards for Manufacturing,Assembly, Processing,and Distribution—Other than Food. <br /> 20S As indicated in a previous footnote,staff is recommending a 10,000 sq.ft. limitation on buildings for uses in the <br /> NC-2 zoning district. <br /> 206 As indicated in a previous footnote,staff is recommending a 20,000 sq.ft. limitation on buildings for uses in <br /> these districts.
