Are there additional requirements for a B&B to operate on agricultural land?
Yes. The additional requirements are intended to preserve agricultural lands. State laws require a Special Use Permit be approved prior to operating a B&B on land that has a State agricultural land-use designation. Additionally, for County agricultural zoned lands, the new County ordinance requires an annual farm income of $35,000 for the previous two years; or, if the parcel is five acres or less, that a farm plan has been fully implemented; or, that the parcel is on the National or State Register of Historic Places.
