Mr. Karet said at the LDRA, April 30th meeting, an informal discussion was had on the

a draft ordinance making limited aquaculture a permitted use in all industrial zoning categories
and "regular" aquaculture a conditional use. Mr. Karet then explained the draft ordinance
starting with definitions. He said aquaculture and limited aquaculture would be added to the
definitions section of the zoning ordinance and explained the definitions of each. Mr. Karet also
said the ordinance suggests including limited aquaculture as a permitted use and aquaculture as a
conditional use in the I-I, 1-2, 1-3 and PID districts. He then shared some of the newly acquired
information he obtained with the Board.
Mr. Karet, after discussion with the Board, suggested going forward with the limited aquaculture
then come back with an agriculture district that permits aquaculture. The Board concurred with
M r. Karet.
Mr. Earl Wallace. 1927 Guava Drive said the applicant's intent is to have limited aquaculture
and agrees with the way the draft ordinance was prepared and revised. Mr. Wallace then thanked
