Council Member Capra commented that there were federal and state statutes that regulate this type of practice and asked whether Mr. Vang was currently licensed to operate in another community. Mr. Yang indicated he is not currently licensed but intends to comply with all U.S.D.A. and state requirements. Council Member Nelson asked approximately how many employees Mr. Yang would have. Mr. Vang indicated he would employ approximately 15 people. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Council did not need to worry about health licenses and should concern itself with the zoning issues. He then suggested that Council consider determining what zoning would be appropriate for this type of use and allowing the use by conditional use permit. Mayor Swedberg indicated he was concerned with the location of this type of facility and would like to ensure that it would not be located next to any residential uses. He then said he would prefer that this type of operation be located in an industrial area. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City could not preclude this type of activity but does have the right to determine where this type of use can be located. Council Member Travis commented that the map indicates the proposed parcel is zoned I-I. Ms. Moore-Sykes agreed the parcel appears to be zoned industrial. City Attorney Hoeft suggested the matter be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration and recommendation of the best zoning location for this type of activity before having Council approve the use based on a conditional use permit.
