A
Exclusive Agriculture District
The purpose of the Exclusive Agriculture (A) District is to designate areas suitable for agricultural uses and to prevent the encroachment of incompatible uses onto agricultural lands and the premature conversion of such lands to nonagricultural uses. Uses in the A District are limited primarily to agricultural uses and other activities compatible with agricultural uses.
Directions: Caliente Creek Rd to Twin Oaks, left onto Sand Canyon Rd (at the Feed Store), go ~1.5 miles, turn left onto unmarked road, go to end to the gate. Agent can accompany since the home is difficult to find.
