General Agricultural District
The A-2 General Agricultural District shall be composed chiefly of larger tracts of farmland devoted primarily to commercial agricultural production in the areas of food crops, fiber crops, timber production, horticulture, livestock pastures, limited animal containment and other compatible uses. Areas within this zone are not intended to be used for intensive agricultural facilities and uses that are restricted to the A-1 Intensive Agriculture District. The regulations for this district are designed to protect prime farmlands, promote viable agricultural usage, and to encourage the maintenance of the general rural character. The use of area land in the A-2 General Agricultural District may result in odors, dust, noise or other effects that may not be compatible with single-lot residential development. However the operation must be conducted in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
