Summary
Zoning; agricultural districts; farm wineries. Provides that localities may not require that a special exception or special use permit be obtained for the processing of wine by licensed farm wineries. Also, no locality may adopt any requirements for special exceptions or special use permits relating to licensed farm wineries that would be more restrictive than its requirements in effect as of January 1, 2006. Further, any special exception or special use permit in effect as of January 1, 2006, shall remain in effect until July 1, 2007, unless such exception or permit is either no longer required by the locality or is amended to be less restrictive. Other provisions are also included that are generally intended to temporarily preserve the status quo while the Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry undertakes a study of issues surrounding the farm winery industry. The results of such study are to be reported to the 2007 Session of the General Assembly. View Full Text »
