The amendment proposes to permit boat dealerships in the Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district. BACKGROUND/PROPOSED REGULATIONS: The Zoning Ordinance currently permits boat dealerships in the Marine Commercial (MC) zoning district and some of the Town Center districts. The use requires a special exception from the Board of Appeals to be permitted in the Rural Commercial (RC) zoning district and several Town Center districts. The BOCC requested that staff draft text amendments which would permit boat dealerships within the Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district. The text amendment proposes that boat dealerships be permitted by right, without conditions, in the I-1. Section of the CCZO states the following regarding uses in the I-1: A. This Primary District is intended to provide available space for light industrial uses, free from other uses which might affect such development. Industrial Parks are encouraged in this District. B. Light industries include those which manufacture, process, store, package or distribute goods and materials and are normally dependent on raw material produced elsewhere. Uses that may have adverse impacts such as noise, odor, or dust on neighboring properties require a special exception from the Board of Appeals. This District is not intended for retail sales establishments such as department stores, general stores, home improvement stores, convenience stores, etc. However, it is the intent to permit the sale of unusually large items that require the use of heavy freight transport and generate low automobile traffic volumes. Such uses may include building materials sold in bulk, heavy machinery and equipment, and large vehicles such as farm tractors and large boats.

29 Staff Report - Text Amendment Case No Text Amendments to the CCZO September 20, 2016, Page 2 of 2 CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Chapter I: Land and Water: Land Use & Growth Management: Energy Objectives: "Direct commercial and industrial uses to appropriate locations; provide necessary infrastructure." Sustainability Issues: "Land use development patterns promote a balanced mix of residential, recreational, commercial and industrial uses." Commercial and Industrial Uses in Industrial Districts: "Industrial Districts (1-1) are intended to provide areas in the County that are suitable for light industrial uses free from other uses which might affect such development." Action 1-41: "Allow EC/TC uses and restrictions in 1-1 Districts when adjacent to town centers." AGENCY COMMENTS RECEIVED (attached) Calvert County Agricultural Commission - Agrees with amendment. Calvert County Economic Development Commission - Agrees with amendment. Calvert County Tourism Advisory Commission - Agrees with amendment. Department of Public Works, Water & Sewer Division no comments Department of Economic Development - Agrees with proposed amendments CONCLUSION/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend that the BOCC and the Planning Commission hold the public hearing, close the record and take action to adopt the text amendments.

Home Occupation Class I, Class II & Class III; Uses # 18a., #18b & #18c. Non-Farm Brewery, Non-Farm Distillery & Non-Farm Winery; and Article 12, Definitions. The amendment proposes to permit Non- Farm Breweries, Non-Farm Distilleries and Non-Farm Wineries, as a Home Occupation and to create new uses on the Use Charts for Non-Farm Breweries, Non-Farm Distilleries and Non-Farm Wineries. BACKGROUND/PROPOSED REGULATIONS: The Land Use Charts of the CCZO currently include uses for Farm Brewery, Farm Distillery and Farm Winery where such uses are permitted only on Farms. Article 12 of the CCZO defines Farm as "Property receiving agricultural use assessment from the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation and/or within a recorded Agricultural Preservation District (APD)". No use exists for these uses on property that does not meet the definition of Farm. Community Planning and Building has permitted non-farm breweries in the County by classifying them as Light Manufacturing or Flex Space Business, which includes light manufacturing. The CCZO defines Manufacturing and/or Assembly, Light as "The production processing cleaning, testing and distribution of materials, goods, foodstuffs and products which by the nature of the materials, equipment and process utilized is to a considerable measure clean, quiet, and free of any objectionable or hazardous element." This use is currently permitted in the Light Industrial (I-1) and Employment Center (EC) Zoning Districts. Light Manufacturing, less than 5000 s.f., is conditionally permitted in Agricultural Preservation Districts (APD) and requires a special exception from the Board of Appeals to be permitted in the Farm and Forest District (FFD), Rural Community District (RCD), Residential District (RD), Historic Districts (RD) and Rural Commercial (RC).

37 Staff Report - Text Amendment Case No Text Amendments to the CCZO September 20, 2016, Page 2 of 2 The State law regarding non-farm breweries was updated after two local breweries had opened in the Light Industrial zoning district. Initially, the breweries were permitted, and are still permitted to have tastings and sell beer to a person of legal drinking age who participates in a guided tour of the facility or attends a scheduled promotional event or other organized activity at the licensed premises. The tastings are limited to not more than six samples of beer brewed at the licensed premises, with each sample consisting of not more than 3 ounces from a single style of beer. The sales of beer brewed at the brewery for off premises consumption was and is permitted to anyone who participates in a guided tour of the brewery or attends a scheduled promotional event or other organized activity at the licensed premises, with a limit of 288 ounces of beer per person. The law was updated to include language to allow on site consumption in addition to the tasting that was previously allowed. An on site consumption permit is required and entitles the holder to sell beer brewed at the brewery for on premises consumption to persons that have attained the legal drinking age. The law limits the total amount of beer sold each year for on premise consumption to a maximum of 500 barrels. The Liquor Board requires proof of zoning approval as part of the process to obtain a license for on-site consumption. The text amendments propose to permit Non-Farm Breweries, Non-Farm Distilleries and Non-Farm Wineries, as a Home Occupation. A Class I Home Occupation is conditionally permitted but does not allow on-site appointments, customers or clients. The Class II and III Home Occupations do permit customers on-site but require a special exception from the Board of Appeals in the FFD, RCD, RD, APD and HD zoning districts. The amendments also create new uses on the Use Charts for Non-Farm Breweries, Non-Farm Distilleries and Non-Farm Wineries which are proposed to be conditionally permitted in the I-1, RC, Marine Commercial (MC) and EC.

The amendment proposes to expand the definition of veterinary hospital or clinic to include Animal Shelters. The use for livestock is being proposed as a permitted use in the Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district. The use for small animals and household pets is proposed to be conditionally permitted in the I-1. BACKGROUND/PROPOSED REGULATIONS: The Zoning Ordinance currently permits veterinary hospitals for livestock in the Farm and Forest District (FFD), Agricultural Preservation District (APD), Historic District (RD), and Rural Commercial (RC) zoning districts. This use requires a special exception from the Board of Appeals to be permitted in the Rural Community District (RCD). The Zoning Ordinance currently permits veterinary hospitals for small animals and household pets in the Rural Commercial (RC) zoning district. This use is conditionally permitted in the Historic District (HD) and Employment Center (EC) and many of Town Center districts. The BOCC requested that staff draft text amendments which would permit animal shelters in the Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district. Since this use is not currently listed on the Land Use Charts, staff determined the use closely resembled the veterinary hospital/clinic use. The text amendment proposes to add animal shelters to the definition of veterinary hospital/clinic and make it a permitted use for livestock and a conditional use for small animals/household pets in the I-1.

41 Staff Report - Text Amendment Case No Text Amendments to the CCZO September 20, 2016, Page 2 of 2 Section of the CCZO states the following regarding uses in the I-1: A. This Primary District is intended to provide available space for light industrial uses, free from other uses which might affect such development. Industrial Parks are encouraged in this District. B. Light industries include those which manufacture, process, store, package or distribute goods and materials and are normally dependent on raw material produced elsewhere. Uses that may have adverse impacts such as noise, odor, or dust on neighboring properties require a special exception from the Board of Appeals. This District is not intended for retail sales establishments such as department stores, general stores, home improvement stores, convenience stores, etc. However, it is the intent to permit the sale of unusually large items that require the use of heavy freight transport and generate low automobile traffic volumes. Such uses may include building materials sold in bulk, heavy machinery and equipment, and large vehicles such as farm tractors and large boats.
