(A) All farms in existence upon the effective date of this chapter within the city limits shall be a Permitted Use on which the operator can conduct an agricultural operation. However, all regulations contained in specific development requirements and the general development requirements shall apply to any changes of the farming operation that would cause all or part of the area to become more intensively used or more urban in character.
(B) The City Council shall require a farm operator to secure a rezoning and a conditional use permit to expand or intensify the operations such that the operation becomes an industrial-type use consisting of compounding, processing and/or packaging of products for wholesale or retail trade. Such rezoning must be in conformance to the land use plan.
