Zoning

A-1

Agricultural District

The A-1 District is intended and designed to accommodate land uses compatible with agriculture and to protect agricultural land from encroachment of urban land uses. The Cornerstone to Capstone C2C Comprehensive Plan designates priority agricultural land as Agricultural Conservation Areas. These areas are intended to preserve rural character by limiting the development of most new non-farm dwellings to large lots. In some instances, the A-1 District permits non-farm residential development on smaller lots in furtherance of the Cornerstone to Capstone C2C Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Equestrian facility
Livestock production
Housing-Single unit
