A special exception may be granted for secondary agricultural processing, 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.
(c) The board may regulate hours of operation, numbers of vehicles and personnel employed and other on-site operations so as to prevent adverse impact on adjoining uses.
(d) The property must front on and have access to a road built to primary or higher standards.
(e) Adequate parking must be provided on site in accordance with the requirements for an industrial or manufacturing establishment or warehouse, as stated in article 59-E.
(f) In evaluating the compatibility of this special exception with surrounding land uses, the board must determine whether those uses are primarily agricultural or residential. The board must consider the fact that this is a use related to agriculture when located in the Rural, Rural Cluster, or Rural Density Transfer zone, and its impact on other agricultural uses does not necessarily need to be controlled as stringently as its impact on residential uses. The use is not permitted, however, in the portion of a rural cluster development regulated by section 59-C-9.52.
