Agricultural District
This district is comprised primarily of open farm land and land used for agricultural, livestock and poultry production. The intent of this regulation is to encourage the maintenance of the general rural character. Residential subdivisions in this district should be designed in a way that is compatible with the rural, agrarian nature of the district. The sale of items cultivated on the property such as fresh fruits, flowers, and vegetables on premises in produce stand type enterprises to provide income to the property owner is appropriate within this district. Pursuant to the many goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for the County, the Agricultural District will serve the purpose of continuation of agriculture by restricting the division of farmland so that it does not become broken up into small parcels. This will help avoid the accelerated conversion of land to residential uses, and discourage the shift of the land market from agricultural and rural, to suburban and urban. These districts are most appropriately located in areas shown as agriculture/forestry/estate residential on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
