5. It appears that artisan food and other goods on a small shop basis would be covered under “custom manufacturing.” o Recommendations:  Add definition for “artisan” use category for physical art, small batch food, and other products  Add definition for “marker’s space” uses, which may allow for temporary rental of space for outside users to operate equipment, etc. 6. The use definition for Microbreweries includes “micro-winery” in the definition as having the same regulations, but micro- distillery is not addressed. o Recommendation:  Separate definitions for microbrewery and microwinery, add a definition for micro-distillery and evaluate whether the production levels are still appropriate. For example, a microbrewery must sell 75% of its product off-site. 7. Specific to chemical and additive manufacturing (or the use of chemicals and additives in manufacturing process), the industrial use types in 9-2-2(C)(1) “basic industry” and 9-2-2(C)(3) “light manufacturing” may not be as clear as they could be in defining what uses are allowed or not allowed. o Recommendation:  Consider redefining “basic manufacturing” to: “ a use involving the primary processing of an extracted or raw material into a product that requires additional processing, manufacture, or assembly in order to become a consumer good. Examples of uses include production of basic chemicals; petroleum and natural gas storage; manufacture of castings, foundry, and other basic metal products; manufacture of nails, spikes, and insulated wire and cable; tanning, curing, or storage of raw hides or skins; manufacture of cement, ready- mix concrete, cut stone, and crushed rock and other primary products from materials taken principally from the earth in the form of stone, clay, and sand; manufacture of asphalt and asphalt reclamation processes; soil remediation facilities; saw, lath, shingle, planing, plywood and veneer mills engaged in producing lumber and basic wood materials; manufacture of pulps from woods and other cellulose fibers; petroleum and natural gas refining and processing; and the smelting and refining of ferrous and nonferrous metals from ore or scrap, rolling, drawing, and alloying metals .  Consider redefining “light manufacturing” as “Intermediate manufacturing and final assembly”  Address allowance (or not) of outside storage (and limitations, requirements or screening) for this use.  Suggestion for defining “intermediate manufacturing and final assembly” would be: “a use that involves intermediate processing of semi-processed material into a consumer good and to uses that involve the assembly of semi-processed, intermediate processed, or final products or parts into a consumer good. This use type refers to the production, manufacture, fabrication, assembly, packaging, storage, sales and distribution of such products. Examples of uses include:  Clothing and fabricated products  Products manufactured by predominantly chemical processes and which are to be used for ultimate consumer consumption  Products manufactured by predominantly chemical processes and which are to be used for further manufacture of other products  Electronic computers, computer hardware components and related equipment, and other machine apparatus and supplies for the generation, storage, transmission, transformation and utilization of electrical energy  Industrial and commercial machinery and equipment

 Finished products made entirely or mainly from wood for use in construction  Paper and paperboard and its conversion into other paperboard products
