A1
Agricultural District
This district consists primarily of undeveloped lands where agricultural and related pursuits may occur within the city and where agriculture support centers may serve outlying rural areas beyond the city. Further, the intent of the A-1 district is to preserve these areas in agriculture, forestry, outdoor recreational, rural residential and other limited, yet compatible, uses until such time as a higher density development pattern may be desired and city services can be expanded to accommodate this development.
