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: (a) 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); (b) An analysis of the amount of groundwater withdrawal considered to be safe and sustainable in the immediate vicinity; and (c) An analysis of whether other wells in the vicinity of the proposed use are expected to be affected by withdrawals made by the proposed use. 5.13.11 Greenhouses with On Premise Sales (A) Use Standards (1) Shall be permitted as more than 1 principal use if located on a bona fide farm.
