(1)       Retail sales shall be limited to plants sold directly from the greenhouse or open field where the product has been grown or cultivated, and only sales of the products in their primary form shall be allowed.  There shall be no retail sales of secondary products such as jams, candies, juices, and baked goods.

 

(2)       Except for an accessory roadside stand or an enclosed structure approved by a conditional use permit for accessory agribusiness activities, there shall be no separate structures utilized primarily for retail sales.

SECTION 5.  Ordinance material to be repealed is bracketed.  New material is underscored.  When revising, compiling or printing this ordinance for inclusion in the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu, the revisor of ordinances need not include the brackets, the bracketed material or the underscoring.
