Zoning; licensed farm wineries; local regulation of certain activities.  Provides that local restriction upon licensed farm wineries' activities and events to market and sell their products shall be reasonable and shall take into account the economic impact on the farm winery of such restriction and whether such activities and events are usual and customary for farm wineries throughout the Commonwealth. The bill further provides that no local ordinance regulating noise, other than outdoor amplified music, arising from activities and events at farm wineries shall be more restrictive than that in the general noise ordinance. This bill is identical to HB 2493.
