Building and Zoning
I.) Description of the "Use by Exception":
I am requesting an exception to operate a micro-brewery. A micro-brewery is a small regional
brewery which produces less than 5,000 barrels of beer annually. Our intention is to be the first
micro-brewery in North Florida (in particular Atlantic Beach). All our beer will be sold in kegs
and delivered to local restaurants and caters. The micro-brewery will not be a retail location.
II.) Specific reasons why the applicant feels the request should be granted:
I believe we will have a positive impact on the area by providing jobs and opportunities for local
merchants. Our entire production will be monitored by the health department and the ATF
(Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). The micro-brewery
should not create additional traffic in the area, because we are not a retail establishment. All our
solid waste is bio-degradable and non-toxic. We are a small "cottage industry" and will be
compatible with the adjacent properties.
Finding of Fact:
1.) Reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and
control and access in case of catastrophe:
The micro-brewery should not create additional traffic in the area, because we are not a
retail establishment. All our beer will be delivered to local restaurants and caters. We
are a very small (cottage industry) operation with only 2 employees at the moment.
2.) Off-street parking and loading is adequate. Particular attention is paid to the items
in 1 above and the economic, noise, glare and odor effects of the special exception
on adjoining properties and properties generally in the district.
Traffic Flow: Off street parking and loading should not be problem. As mentioned in
the above paragraph we are a very small operation with only 2 employees working part-
time. The building has a loading door in the front and will not block traffic. Our
delivery truck will be a small commercial van or truck.
Noise: All operations will be contained within the building and the micro-brewery in not
considered a noisy operation.
Glare: We do not intend to have a neon sign or any sign on the outside of the building.
Odor: There is an small odor when brewing the beer, however the odor is very similar
to the smell of baking bread. We will only be brewing the beer one or two days of the
week. The remainder of the time the boiler will sit inactive. The vapor is non-toxic.
3.) Locations of refuse and service areas are compatible with surrounding properties and
are easily accessible.
We should have less than 3 trash cans of solid waste per week (during times of maximum
production). As mentioned above, we will be a very small operation and all our solid
waste is bio-degradable and non-toxic. We should produce the same amount of waste as
a small household.
4.) Location, availability and compatibility of utilities are adequate.
The building is attractive and all the utilities are more than adequate. We are regulated
by the Health department on a scheduled basis. Our operation must be sanitary at all
times and comply with extremely high health code standards.
5.) Type, dimensions and character of screening and buffering are adequate.
There is a 6 foot high privacy fence surrounding the building and proper buffering has
been established.
6.) Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare and traffic safety, are
in harmony and are compatible with other properties in the district.
We do not intend to have any exterior signs on the building. Of course we will have a
sign on the door and the window.
7.) Required yards and other open spaces are adequate.
A yard is not required for our operation, 90% of our operation is conducted within the
confines of the building itself.
8.) The use is generally compatible with adjacent properties and other property in the
district.
The micro-brewery will be compatible with adjacent properties (cabinet shops, automotive
repair, etc.)
9.) Hours of Operation
Monday thru Saturday 8am to 8pm
