to the sale of accessory items shall not exceed 25% of the total floor area. No
<br />commercially packaged handicrafts or commercially processed or packaged foodstuffs shall
<br />be sold as accessory items. No activities other than the sale of goods as outlined above
<br />shall be allowed as part of the agricultural sales business.
<br />Agricultural Services. Establishments that perform services which support or assist the
<br />agricultural community, such as soil preparation services, crop services, farm management
<br />services, or breeding services on a fee or contract basis, along with experimental farms for
<br />research or educational purposes. This category is intended to apply where agricultural
<br />land is located, and may include buildings and other structures that provide office,
<br />warehouse, and storage areas for these establishments.
<br />Agricultural Support. Establishments engaged in farm equipment sales and repair, farm
<br />produce sales and supply (feed grain, elevators) and small-scale farm product processing,
<br />such as cider mills, dairies, poultry or meat processing.
<br />Forestry Operations. The use of land for the raising and harvesting of timber, pulpwood or
<br />other forestry products for commercial purposes, including the temporary operation of a
<br />sawmill and/or chipper or grinder to process the timber cut from that parcel or contiguous
<br />parcels. Excluded from this definition shall be the cutting of timber associated with land
<br />development approved by the City which shall be considered accessory to the development
<br />of the property.

<br />flowers or other tender plants.
<br />Wayside Stand. A temporary structure or vehicle used for the seasonal retail sale of
<br />agricultural goods, floriculture, and horticulture produced by the operator of the wayside
<br />stand, which is clearly a secondary use of the premises and does not change the character
<br />thereof.
<br />10. Industrial and Extractive Uses
<br />Heavy Industrial. Establishments involved in the manufacture, fabrication, processing,
<br />compounding, or assembling of materials from raw material or previously processed
<br />material. These uses have severe potential for adversely affecting surrounding land uses
<br />due to potential environmental impacts related to noise, smoke/particulate emissions,
<br />vibration, noxious gases, odor, glare/heat, fire/explosion hazards and waste disposal. In
<br />addition, these uses may generate large amounts of truck or auto traffic, may involve the
<br />use of large unenclosed production areas, or may require large, tall structures that are
<br />unsightly. Heavy industrial uses typically involve primary production processes in the area
<br />of paper products (pulp mills), food processing (slaughterhouse, meat packing plant),
<br />chemicals (manufacture of inorganic chemicals, resins, plastics, paints, fertilizers,
<br />explosives, ink), petroleum products (refineries, bulk storage), primary metals (blasting,
<br />smelting, rolling), machinery and equipment manufacture (auto assembly, engines,
<br />construction equipment), leather (storing, curing, tanning), gravel based products
<br />(manufacture of bricks, concrete, abrasives), and lumber products (saw mills).
<br />Landfill. A disposal site employing an engineered method of disposing solid wastes in a
<br />manner that minimizes environmental hazards by spreading, compacting to the smallest
<br />volume, and applying cover material over all exposed waste at the end of each operating
<br />day.
<br />Laundry Plant. Establishments primarily engaged in the provision of laundering, cleaning,
<br />or dyeing services other than those classified as Personal Services. Typical uses include bulk
<br />laundry and cleaning plants, diaper services, and linen supply services.
<br />Light Industrial. Establishments involved in the processing, fabrication, assembly, or
<br />compounding of products where the process involved is relatively clean and nuisance free,
