AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 122, THE SCANDIA DEVELOPMENT CODE,
CHAPTER 1, SECTION 4 RULES AND DEFINTIONS AND CHAPTER 2, ADDING SECTION 4.35
REGARDING STANDARDS FOR AGRITOURISM USES
On July 19, 2016, at a Regular Meeting of the Scandia City Council, by majority vote, the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 173, which modifies the definition of Agritourism Use to emphasize the
educational and recreational aspects of the use, and the necessary ties to agriculture. This
distinguishes it from the Rural Event Facility Use, which applies to uses that are focused on events. The
Ordinance also creates standards for Agritourism Use including designating the allowable zoning
districts, permit requirements, parcel size, utility requirements, road access, parking, and sound
amplification.
A printed copy of the Ordinance is available for inspection by any person during regular office hours at
City Hall or by standard or electronic mail.
