To the Honorable Board:

 

Attached are four documents relating to 192922, the urban agriculture ordinance. They are:

- Uurban ag ordinance 8-16-12 which corrects two typos that we missed in Committee last night.

- Three other documents for informational purposes only, which are the proposed Board of Health regs that relate to this Zoning Ordinance, as reviewed by the Land Use Committee on 8/8 and 8/15.

 

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
