Agenda Item Text:
Docket SU23-08 (Slaughterhouse) A Special Use Authorization to expand an existing meat packing business to include an onsite slaughterhouse.
Background:
The Applicant, Mr. Joshua Koehn, requests a Special Use Authorization to expand an existing meat packing business to include an onsite slaughterhouse. An 1,100 square foot building and onsite holding pens are proposed.
The site has an existing permitted meat packing facility. Today the animals are slaughtered off premises and then packaged here. Due to long delays and short supply of area slaughterhouses the applicant is requesting to be able to be a full processing slaughterhouse.
Section 603.15 allows for custom butchering/meat curing/processing with a minimum of a 100 foot setback by right. The applicant obtained all required permits to operate the business under this classification which is defined as:
The cutting, curing, and processing of meat, to include on- site butchering, operating under the Arizona Department of Agriculture slaughter license for more than 45- head and not to exceed 150-head of cattle and more than 45-head and not to exceed 160-head of sheep, goats, or swine and also for not more than two-hundred-fifty turkeys, or not more than an equivalent number of birds of all species with four-birds of other species being deemed the equivalent of one- turkey in one-calendar year.
Applicant is requesting to expand the business to include a slaughterhouse which is allowed with a special use authorization pursuant to Section 607.42. The zoning regulations define slaughterhouse as: – A facility for the slaughtering, refining, processing, storage, and distribution of animals and animal byproducts.
Any remaining by products will be kept refrigerated until hauled offsite a rendering facility, landfill or other approved disposal site.
