      Hi All – We have a citizen who wants to open a slaughterhouse and we don’t currently have any code that allows this use case. I am looking to see if anyone has delt with this or what was considered in allowing this use case in your city.

      I’ve not dealt with one of those but a couple of thoughts occur to me:

      address access (in and out), unloading of cattle, outside confinement area/fencing, noise (keep this a long ways away from residential), waste/sanitation including liquid (get a sign off from the sewer district or if in a septic tank area – check with the Health Department and get a sign off), all rendering and killing within an enclosed building, parking for employees, signs, a landscape buffer next to the road, maybe energy demand, maybe hours of operation.

      I’d for sure consider this only in an industrial of maybe an ag zone and as a conditional use – lots of mitigation needed.

      Hi JJ, thank you for the feedback and I totally agree. We want to make sure we are minimizing the impact of the business to neighboring properties and make sure all our systems can handle the waste. My other concerns are smell, noise and possible traffic. I am also going to check with the Department of Agriculture.
