AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Directions: Follow Plaza Drive to DE-24 W/ DE-5 S. , Follow DE-24 W and US-113 N/W Dupont Blvd to Rd 329, Turn left onto Rd 329, Follow US-9 W, State Rd 20 and Concord Rd to Rd 490/River Rd in Blades, Turn right onto Rd 490/River Rd.
