Committee approves ordinance to allow wild game processing in select rural districts
Summary
The committee approved ordinance language defining wild game processing and permitting it in FA, CFA, AG1 and AG2 districts, with a requirement that processing be fully enclosed; members noted existing facilities had generated few complaints.
Staff presented an ordinance change to define wild game processing and specify the districts where it would be allowed (FA, CFA, AG1, AG2), including a condition that processing be conducted in a fully enclosed structure. A council member noted an existing facility near a high school that has operated for years without health complaints and minimal traffic.
After a motion and second, the committee voted and the chair announced, "It passes." The ordinance will allow the use in the identified rural zoning districts under the stated enclosure condition.
