Item 1: Farm Distilleries. Discussion on revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to include farm
distilleries with farm wineries, consistent with the State Code.
Staff provided an overview of the changes to the Code of Virginia that prompted the ordinance
revisions to include distilleries. The DRRC agreed with the proposed changes and sent the item
forward to the Planning Commission.
Item 2: Site Plan Requirements. Discussion on revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to update
and revise the site plan requirements.
Staff provided an overview of the changes to the site plan requirements (minor site plans and
illustrative sketch plans). The DRRC did not agree with requiring wayside stands and other farm
markets to submit illustrative sketch plans and requested that it be removed. The committee
only wanted to require the plans for breweries, wineries and distilleries. With that revision, the
DRRC sent the amendment forward to the Planning Commission.
Meeting Adjourned at 8:00pm.
