Daryl Bolicek — Interim Use Permit Application for a Beer Brewing Operation Home Occupation Leitz presented on an interim use permit application for a beer brewing operation home occupation located on 40 acres at 9480 140th Street North. Leitz described the operation of the business and what can be expected on site. She stated that in rural areas of the city, there is more flexibility for approval of certain home occupations because they are less likely to negatively impact adjacent property owners and impact the character of the neighborhood than in the urban residential areas of the City. Leitz stated that the applicant is allowed exemptions on six general standards, since the property is located in the rural area, and he has asked for exemptions on three. The three exemptions include the use of the accessory structures, number of vehicle trips, and number of employees. Leitz also stated that there are seven criteria of approval that staff has evaluated with this application and noted it's in staff's opinion that the applicant meets the criteria. Leitz stated that the interim use permit shall be reviewed in one year and shall expire in two years, August 15, 2016. Leitz concluded by saying that staff recommends approval of the home occupation interim use permit application with the conditions listed in the attached resolution.
