A. Defined
Agricultural Processing means any operation that transforms, packages, sorts, or grades farm products into goods that are used for intermediate or final consumption, including goods for non-food use, such as the products of forestry. Agricultural Processing includes milk plant, grain elevator, and mulch or compost production and manufacturing, but does not include Slaughterhouse (see Section 3.2.8, Slaughterhouse).
B. Use Standards
Where Agricultural Processing is allowed as a conditional use, it may be permitted by the Hearing Examiner under Section 7.3.1, Conditional Use, and the following standards:
1. The minimum lot area is 10 acres.
2. The minimum setback for an Agricultural Processing structure from any lot line is 75 feet.
3. The lot must front on and have access to a road built to Neighborhood Connector or higher standards unless processing materials are produced on-site.
4. If the subject lot abuts property in the AR zone, screening under Division 6.5 is not required.
