Q: I currently brew beer as a hobby, but I was thinking about commercializ- ing. It would not be very large; more of a micro-brewery style. Does the city allow this type of business and where? A: Small-scale industrial businesses, such as micro-breweries and micro- wineries, are becoming a popular trend. These are uses that are limited in scale and basic function is to manufacture a product that is predominantly extracted from raw material and is contained within a building. In response to the changing market City Council approved an ordinance in January 2011 that allowed Micro-Industrial uses in GC General Commer- cial, CI Commercial-Industrial and BPI Business Park Industrial zoning districts. Recently, an amendment was adopted that also allows Micro- Industrial uses in NG-1 Core Northgate and NG-2 Transitional Northgate. Specific use standards do apply to Micro-Industrial uses, which require that all production activity be conducted within an enclosed building, the prohibition of outside storage, and limited to no more than 5,000 gross square feet. In addition, accessory restaurants, nightclubs or taverns are only permitted with a Micro-Industrial use in GC General Commercial, NG-1 Core Northgate and NG-2 Transitional Northgate. For more information on Micro-Industrial Uses, please contact the Planner- On-Call. 1101 Texas Avenue PO Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 979-764-3570 Fax: 979-764-3496 www.cstx.gov Volume 14 Issue 7 Building a Better Community with You BUILDING PERMIT TOTALS: Month of July 2013 Type of Permit Permit Unit Total Sq.
