Agenda Item Summary:
The Light Industrial District currently allows microbreweries as a conditional use limiting the use to production with associated retail including off-sale, sampling, and food not including a restaurant. Staff was approached by a local microbrewery to discuss amending the Zoning Ordinance to reflect changes in State law. Staff’s concern was to ensure that any on-sale liquor use would be accessory to, and secondary to the principle use of a micro-brewery. As such, the proposed Ordinance Amendment limits the area of the on-sale use to 20% of the floor area of a micro-brewery. In addition, the proposed Ordinance would allow on-sale liquor use in conjunction with a micro-brewery as a conditional use. The proposed Ordinance Amendment will revise the language to remove specific numbers regarding production, revise the references to SDCL to reflect recent and future changes, limit the area of the building that can be used to sell beer, and allow an on-sale liquor establishment as a conditional use in the Light Industrial District accessory to a microbrewery.
