MEMORANDUM
TO: Michele Lipe, Director of Planning
RE: Proposal to Add Breweries to Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial
Zones
DATE: June 24, 2014
In regard to the proposal to add breweries to the list of permitted uses, it should
be recognized that such facilities will produce a very strong wastewater as
measured in concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical
oxygen demand (B.O.D).
The Town South Windsor Water Pollution Control Authority Rules and
Regulations (Section 6 "Use of the Public Sewer") prohibits the discharge of
"...any pollutant or wastewater which will interfere with the operation or
performance of the sewerage system."Among those pollutants listed under this
regulation are any materials which exert a B.O.D. greater than 212 mg/I or T.S.S.
greater than 238 mg/I. Typical brewery wastewater values average between
1,400 -2,000 mg/I for B.O.D. and 500 -700 mg/I for T.S.S.
Furthermore, because brewery wastewater has a high concentration of organics
and therefore requires a large amount of aeration, anaerobic treatment
processes are preferred for wastewater treatment in the brewery industry to save
energy and minimize sludge disposal costs. The Town's wastewater treatment
facility uses an aerobic process for wastewater treatment.
Therefore, breweries should be required to provide a system for pretreatment of
its wastewater before discharge to the municipal sewerage system in order to
comply with the Town sewer use rules and regulations and to avoid cost
increases at the Town Water Pollution Control Facility that would be passed on to
the other rate payers of the community.

RE: Amendment to revise Bulk Table 4.1.1A
In regards to the Amendment to revise Bulk Table 4.1.1A to include Breweries,
Microbreweries and Brew Pubs as a permitted use in commercial and industrial
zones the health department would require the following:
Breweries, Microbreweries, and Brew Pubs must comply with Connecticut
Public Health Code regulations (19-13-1342) if they are offering tastings and/or
are serving beer. They must complete a plan review application and submit
floor plans of the establishment and tasting room to the South Windsor Health
Department (SWHD) for review and approval. SWHD will inspect the
establishment prior to operation to ensure compliance with the approved plan.
In addition, the establishment must meet all regulatory requirements of the
Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) - Liquor Control
Division. SWHD is required to provide a signature on the DCP liquor permit
application verifying that the establishment is in compliance with Connecticut
Public Health Code regulations.
If they have any questions regarding DCP licensing requirements, they may
contact Agent Lewis at 860-713-6210.
Breweries Zoning Amendment
July 8, 2014
Planning Department Report
1. This amendment is in response to several inquiries our office has received and staff has
crafted these regulations on behalf of the PZC to receive public input to allow
breweries on a larger scale. Currently, there are no references to breweries in the Use
Table of the zoning regulations; however a brewery would be considered as a permitted
industrial use under the manufacturing category: the processing or manufacturing of
component or goods. This use currently would not be permitted in any other zones.
2. This proposal would accomplish several things:
o Add to Section 10 Definitions for: Brewery, Microbrewery and Brewpub - These
definitions were standard to what other regulations had for definitions
o revise Bulk Table 4.1.1A Permitted Uses in the Commercial and Industrial Zones to
add Breweries as a permitted use (with site plan approval) in the Industrial zone (I);
Microbreweries and Brewpubs as permitted uses (with site plan approval) in the
General Commercial zone (GC) and by Special Exception Use (with site plan
approval) in the Restricted Commercial zone (RC).
o Define additional provisions for the uses; currently as proposed in the Industrial
zone- accessory uses would be limited to use of 20% GFA as is currently allowed in
the industrial zone. The Commission may want to talk a little more about this as our
parking regulations do not require additional parking if such as area is used for a
"tasting room" open to the public. The Commission may want to consider requiring
this as a special exception use if there are going to be other uses on site.
o In the Commercial zones, the additional provisions allow spell out the maximum
number of barrels to be produced in a given year; wholesale and retail sales, tasting
rooms and outdoor dining. Parking and other site design considerations would be
evaluated as a part of the site review process.
