AR-10
Agricultural/Rural Residential District
The purpose of the AR district is to: Recognize parcels located within the natural resources General Plan designation that have previously been subdivided into parcels less than 20 acres in size (AR-5 and AR-10) that are predominantly utilized for very low density rural residential uses and small agricultural operations.; Allows for a 20 acre minimum district (AR-20) in foothill agricultural areas where smaller parcels already exist or to serve as transition between rural community boundaries and other natural resource uses.; Recognizes that these smaller agricultural parcels are a vital component of the County's overall agricultural economy by providing opportunities for specialty crops, boutique farming, and agritourism.; Prevent further encroachment of residential and other incompatible uses into agricultural and natural resource areas.; Serve as a transition between agricultural and natural resource lands and rural residential or urban development.
Permitted uses
