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, AND DISTRIBUTION • • <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 sq.ft. of building area.2-G5120 <br /> (B) Standards for EDBA and EDE-1 Zoning Districts <br /> (1) Uses shall be limited to 20,000 sq.ft. of building area. <br /> 5.14.2 Microbrewery <br /> (A) Use Standards <br /> (1) Microbrewery Production Only and Microbrewery with Minor Events land uses, as <br /> defined within this Ordinance, shall be permitted as more than one principal use <br /> if located on a bona fide farm.
