County staff proposes new site standards, reduces agricultural processing setback to 100 feet
Summary
Staff proposed new site-development standards for agricultural processing, including reducing a 300-foot setback to 100 feet for processing buildings while keeping protections for nearby residences and clarifying building requirements for custom butchering and stables.
During the work session, staff recommended adding site-development standards to cover agricultural processing uses. The draft would treat processing buildings differently from accessory structures and would reduce the minimum setback for processing buildings from 300 feet to 100 feet, while keeping a 300-foot setback where processing adjoins existing residences.
"We're actually reducing the minimum setback from 300 to 100," the staff member said. Staff also proposed that custom butchering would still require a building and retain some larger setbacks for certain structures, and that nonrelated structures (offices, storage) would be governed by the underlying district standards.
