Re: Zoning Text Amendment – RZ20-17 – To amend Sec. 64-395, Uses
prohibited in all zoning districts (as it relates to temporary consumer
fireworks retail sales facilities)
Date: September 23, 2020
Department Recommendation:
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the
proposed text amendment.
Executive Summary:
At the Planning Commission meeting on August 26, 2020 Staff presented and the
Commission approved a series of text amendments related to the creation of a
separate Administrative Permit solely for “temporary consumer fireworks retail
sales facility” (RZ20-10, 11, 12, 14, and 16). Within RZ20-10 which addressed
definitions, a new definition of the following was created:
Nonstructural consumer fireworks retail sales facility means a trailer towed
by a motor vehicle or a tent, canopy, or membrane (any thin, flexible or
foldable layer of material used to block sun, wind or water) structure in
which consumer fireworks are offered for sale to the public.
This type of facility shall be prohibited and therefore, a new text amendment
needed to be initiated to include it within Sec. 64-395 “Uses Prohibited in All
Zoning Districts”.

Re: Zoning Text Amendments –
RZ20-18 - To create a new Use Permit – Sec. 64-1845 for Farm
Winery consumption on premises of beer and/or liquor
RZ20-19 - To amend Sec. 64-1121 – Allowed Use Chart within the
Rural Milton Overlay (as it relates to Farm Winery
consumption on premises of beer and/or liquor)
Date: September 23, 2020
Department Recommendation:
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the
proposed text amendments.
Executive Summary:
RZ20-18 – To Create a new Use Permit for Farm Winery consumption on premises
of beer and/or liquor
The purpose of the proposed Use Permit is to allow the sale of beer and/or liquor
on a farm winery. Farm wineries are currently allowed by right within the AG-1
(Agricultural) zoning district. An existing farm winery within the City has asked if
the sale of beer or liquor can be made legal for the visitors of the farm winery
who prefer to consume beer or liquor.
Staff presented options to the City Council at its Work Session on August 10, 2020.
Staff was directed to move forward with the creation of a Use Permit that
enables the farm winery to have limited beer and liquor sales while putting
parameters in place to protect the neighbors and community.

There are proposed text amendments to Chapter 4 (Alcohol) of the City Code
that are running concurrently to these proposed text amendments that will allow
the sale of beer and/or liquor to occur on farm wineries.
This item was presented at the CZIM meeting on August 25, 2020 with no one in
attendance or participating via Zoom.
RZ20-19 - To amend Sec. 64-1121 (Use Chart)
Within the Rural Milton Overlay District, the Use Chart categorizes use permits
between Commercial, Agricultural, Institutional, Non-Single Family, and Single
Family Uses. Staff proposes to assign the proposed Use Permit to the
“Agricultural” Use.
This category requires the least amount of development regulations since it is an
agricultural related use.
