In consideration of the neighboring businesses and the impacts of a manufacturing operation, staff <br /> recommends including a limit to production at 10,000 barrels annually,with an opportunity to expand via <br /> Conditional Use Permit. <br /> Wineries <br /> Similar to brewing,wineries and wine making have received additional interest over the past few years and <br /> the city is interested in accommodating the growing industry. <br /> Wineries require open areas for growing grapes and other fruit which is agricultural in nature, the <br /> manufacturing of the products are industrial, and on-site sales are retail. Due to the multiple uses <br /> associated with a winery staff proposes including wineries as both a permitted and conditional use in the <br /> R-1a district. Wineries will be classified as a permitted use when there is no on-site sale of products and as <br /> a conditional use when a retail component is included. This Conditional Use Permit provides the city with <br /> an opportunity to evaluate parking, drive-aisles, buildings, and the overall operations of the business. <br /> Ordinance Definitions <br /> Microbreweg—A microbrewery is a facility that is licensed under Minn.
