Proposal would also amend Chapter 17.08 to define ‘brewery.’ Docket No. ZCA16-002 Background and Summary of Amendments The application to amend Walla Walla County Code (WWCC) Section 17.16.014 and Chapters 17.08 and 17.22 was received by the Community Development Department on March 1, 2016. Please refer to Item 1 in the notebook to review the material submitted by the Applicant. The applicant has proposed three amendments relating to breweries. Amend WWCC Chapter 17.08 to define ‘brewery’ as follows: “A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.” The proposed amendment would establish a definition for ‘brewery’ which is currently undefined in the code. Amend WWCC 17.16.014, Permitted Uses, to add ‘Brewery, Type 1’ and ‘Brewery, Type 2’ and make Type 1 breweries an allowed use in the AR-10 district and Type 3 breweries a conditional use in the AR-10 district. Breweries are currently not allowed in this zoning district. Amend WWCC Chapter 17.22, Wineries, to incorporate breweries and apply the same development standards. The proposed amendments to Chapter 17.22 would establish a more detailed definition of breweries, which could include tasting and other ancillary uses similar to what the County currently permits at wineries. The amendments would also establish definitions for Type 1 and Type 2 breweries with the same thresholds as Type 1 and Type 2 wineries (12,000 square feet, 40 parking spaces). Amended Proposal by Staff Included as Attachment 1 is a copy of the proposed amendments that incorporates a couple of changes that are recommended by staff. Most of these are minor and include a grammatical correction. In a few cases we felt it was advisable to add the word ‘breweries’ or ‘brewery’ in a few additional places in Chapter 17.16 and 17.22. The two most significant changes are as follows: 1. The applicant’s proposed amendments would add a short definition of ‘brewery’ to Chapter 17.08, Definitions. Instead, we have proposed listing ‘brewery, type I’ and ‘brewery, type II’ in Chapter 17.08 with references to the new definitions in Chapter 17.22. This alternative is more in line with how we typically format the code and matches what we have for wineries. 2. The last proposed amendment would modify the proposed definition for brewery in Subsection 17.22.030D to make it a little bit clearer and easier to enforce and interpret. As drafted by the applicant the definition would be “a facility specifically designed, at a minimum for one or more of the following: brewing beer or other malt liquors, mill or crushing of grains to be used, mashing of milled or crushed grains.” One concern we have is that with this definition someone could propose only a facility that would “mill or crush grains” which is really not a brewery.

Date: October 27, 2016 To: Walla Walla County Planning Commission From: Tom Glover, Director

Lauren Prentice, Principal Planner RE: Public Hearing Agenda Item No. 1 – A Zoning Code Text Amendment Application

by Tim Rockey to amend WWCC 17.16.014 to make breweries an allowed use in the AR-10 zoning district and establish development standards for these uses by incorporating them into the County’s winery standards in Chapter 17.22. Proposal would also amend Chapter 17.08 to define ‘brewery.’ Docket No. ZCA16-002

Background and Summary of Amendments The application to amend Walla Walla County Code (WWCC) Section 17.16.014 and Chapters 17.08 and 17.22 was received by the Community Development Department on March 1, 2016. Please refer to Item 1 in the notebook to review the material submitted by the Applicant. The applicant has proposed three amendments relating to breweries.

Amend WWCC Chapter 17.08 to define ‘brewery’ as follows: “A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.” The proposed amendment would establish a definition for ‘brewery’ which is currently undefined in the code.

Amend WWCC 17.16.014, Permitted Uses, to add ‘Brewery, Type 1’ and ‘Brewery, Type 2’ and make Type 1 breweries an allowed use in the AR-10 district and Type 3 breweries a conditional use in the AR-10 district. Breweries are currently not allowed in this zoning district.

Amend WWCC Chapter 17.22, Wineries, to incorporate breweries and apply the same development standards. The proposed amendments to Chapter 17.22 would establish a more detailed definition of breweries, which could include tasting and other ancillary uses similar to what the County currently permits at wineries. The amendments would also establish definitions for Type 1 and Type 2 breweries with the same thresholds as Type 1 and Type 2 wineries (12,000 square feet, 40 parking spaces).

Amended Proposal by Staff Included as Attachment 1 is a copy of the proposed amendments that incorporates a couple of changes that are recommended by staff. Most of these are minor and include a grammatical correction. In a few cases we felt it was advisable to add the word ‘breweries’ or ‘brewery’ in a few additional places in Chapter 17.16 and 17.22. The two most significant changes are as follows:

1. The applicant’s proposed amendments would add a short definition of ‘brewery’ to Chapter 17.08, Definitions. Instead, we have proposed listing ‘brewery, type I’ and ‘brewery, type II’ in Chapter 17.08 with references to the new definitions in Chapter 17.22. This alternative is more in line with how we typically format the code and matches what we have for wineries.

2. The last proposed amendment would modify the proposed definition for brewery in Subsection 17.22.030D to make it a little bit clearer and easier to enforce and interpret. As drafted by the applicant the definition would be “a facility specifically designed, at a minimum for one or more of the following: brewing beer or other malt liquors, mill or crushing of grains to be used, mashing of milled or crushed grains.” One concern we have is that with this definition someone could propose only a facility that would “mill or crush grains” which is really not a brewery. We wanted to make sure the definition provides a

high enough bar and clear standard. This is the replacement sentence we are recommending.

A brewery is a facility specifically designed for brewing beer which includes a combination of any the following activities: lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging beer.

All of the changes proposed by staff are shown in Attachment 1 and highlighted so they can be compared with the Applicant’s proposal which is included in your notebook. Staff Conclusion Community Development Department (CDD) staff has reviewed the application submitted by Tim Rockey, and concludes that with the minor changes proposed by staff and shown in Attachment 1, the proposed amendments meet the review criteria in WWCC 14.15.070B(3). Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the application submitted by Tim Rockey, and amended by staff and shown in Attachment 1, docket number ZCA16-002, be recommended for approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Recommended Motion “I move that the Planning Commission concur with the findings of fact and conclusion of law in docket number ZCA16-002 and recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the application by Tim Rockey, and amended by staff, be approved.” Attachments

Analysis Currently breweries are not specifically addressed in the code and thus are not permitted in most of unincorporated Walla Walla County. Type 1 wineries are allowed as a permitted use in the AR-10 district and Type 2 wineries are a conditional use. “Distillery, production facility” is also permitted outright in the AR-10 district. Approval of the proposed text amendment would affect all land zoned Agriculture Residential 10-acres (AR-10), which is about 30,078 acres in unincorporated Walla Walla County or about 3.7% of the total acreage in the County. Zoning Code Text Amendment Review Criteria Below are the three criteria from WWCC 14.15.70B(3) on which the Community Development Department and Planning Commission shall base their recommendations.

Criteria: The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Staff Discussion: The applicant has presented that the primary ingredients used in beer production are barley, wheat and hops and that the proposed amendment would encourage increased local production of local barley and wheat, thereby supporting the agricultural

industry. The amendments would impact the AR-10 zone, which are agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance.

Criteria: The amendment meets a definable public need. Staff Discussion: The proposed amendments will result in amendments to the code that will address a use, breweries, that is not currently considered in the zoning code and provide standards for breweries.

a. Criteria: The amendment is in the long term interest of the County. Staff Discussion: As presented by the applicant, these amendments are likely to encourage the production of wheat and barley to be used in beer production and will provide an additional business, tourism and employment opportunity to County residents. By incorporating breweries into Chapter 17.22, we can ensure that appropriate development standards are applied to limit potential land use conflicts and promote orderly development that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
