I assume hemp growing is considered farm use and as such would fall under the farm use exemption in the building code.Am I correct on this since it falls under VDACS?
In my opinion, it’s irrelevant who regulates them. For a building or structure to be exempt from the USBC, it must meet the following definition:
Farm building or structure. A building or structure not used for residential purposes, located on property where farming operations take place, and used primarily for any of the following uses or combination thereof:
1. Storage, handling, production, display, sampling or sale of agricultural, horticultural, floricultural or silvicultural products produced in the farm.
2. Sheltering, raising, handling, processing or sale of agricultural animals or agricultural animal products.
3. Business or office uses relating to the farm operations.
4. Use of farm machinery or equipment or maintenance or storage of vehicles, machinery or equipment on the farm.
5. Storage or use of supplies and materials used on the farm.
6. Implementation of best management practices associated with farm operations.
Hope this helps.
