Agricultural District
The purpose and intent of this district is to allow agriculture, very-low-density residential, rural recreation, and other rural uses. Agriculture and agricultural activities are frequently associated with noise, odors, dust, aerial chemical spraying, and other activities generally incompatible with urban-style living. However, agriculture forms a vital segment of the economy of the state, and provides diversity of economic opportunity and lifestyles for the county. Therefore, it is the purpose of this district to provide areas for the establishment and/or continuation of agricultural operations with residential uses being permitted only at very low densities and to accommodate those individuals who understand and desire to live in an agricultural environment.
