Sec. 59-G-2.09.1. Blacksmith.

A special exception may be granted for a blacksmith, subject to the following requirements:

   (a)   The minimum area of the lot must be 5 acres.

   (b)   The minimum setback from any property line must be 50 feet, except that the minimum setback from the street may be reduced to 25 feet if the board finds that:

      (1)   The site is in an agricultural rather than a residential zone; and

      (2)   The reduced setback would be compatible with surrounding uses.

   (c)   The board may regulate hours of operation, numbers of vehicles and personnel employed and other on-site operations to prevent adverse impact on adjoining uses.

   (d)   Adequate parking must be provided on site in accordance with the requirements for an industrial or manufacturing establishment or warehouse, under Article 59-E.

   (e)   Adequate screening must be provided for all parking areas and all areas devoted to on- site operations, to prevent adverse impact on adjoining uses.

   (f)   In evaluating the compatibility of this special exception with surrounding land uses, the Board must consider that the impact of an agricultural special exception on surrounding land uses in the agricultural zones does not necessarily need to be controlled as stringently as the impact of a special exception in the residential zones.
