Changes include: Revised text and new table identify permit requirements and criteria for each type of permit Added an item used in other City permits that states that "Private, "by -invitation -only" events such as weddings, memorial services, family reunions, birthday parties, or similar private events are not considered as "events" that are part of the Agritourism use, and are not counted in determining whether a zoning permit is required for this use in the "Permits" section Added optional Annual Operating Permit (AOP) and requirements—these are similar to the requirements for an AOP for a Rural Events Facility Removed the requirement for a Grading Plan. The Commission determined that this duplicates other City requirements if new structures are proposed. Added a table identifying the minimum site size and criteria Identified setback requirements Revised text to clarify that 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. hours of operation apply only to events that require a permit, and that no more than one permitted event may be scheduled on any calendar date. Revised sign requirements to reference current ordinance. Did not repeat all text due to length and to avoid needing to change multiple ordinance sections in the future if the sign requirements change. Updated requirements for IUP termination and City reviews of Agritourism Operations The Planning Commission may review the changes and continue the discussion of this item at the February meeting.
