- New Farms (Stock) which require a minimum of 10 acres <br />(10.27 and 10.�8 Sub 3B) <br />The Zoning Code per RR-lA and RR-1B districts do permit as an <br />accessory use, Section 10.28 Subdivision 4A (refer to Section <br />10.20 K) animals to be stored, however this is limited to the <br />keeping of domestic animals including horses for the use of <br />occupants on the premise. It also states some minimums regarding <br />the amount of open pasture available to allow that. (1 horse - 2 <br />acre minimum + 1 acre for eac additional horse. For other <br />animals 1 cow/steer, 1 donkey, 3 sheep or 50 fowl = 1 animal <br />unit.) <br />The Zoning Ordinance also defines: <br />Section 10.02 Definition 65 "Stables and Barns - <br />Private" - A building or structure used or intended to <br />be used for housing horses, mules, donkeys or ponies <br />belonging to the occupant of the property, and kept for <br />nunco: rcial purposes. (Should not be located less <br />t'',a,n 1_ ) feet from the nearest lot 1 ine.)and <br />Definition 66 "Stable or Barns - Public" - A building or <br />structure used or intended to be used for housing of <br />horses, mules, donkeys or ponies which are owned by <br />those other than the occupant of the property, where <br />animals may be rented for a fee for riding purposes or <br />where riding lessons may be provided. <br />While these definitions are included in the Zoning Ordinance they <br />are never specifically listed or identified with any zoning <br />classification as either a primary, conditional, or accessory <br />use. <br />The issue for clarification is the threshold at which :operties <br />falling within this farm (stock) exemption wi 1 1 be required to <br />get a conditional use permit for uses other than the strict <br />raising of livestock. , <br />It is indicated we do have stock farms which predate the 1975 <br />ordinance that had at the time or ha v,- taken on some of these, <br />
