Agricultural District

Agricultural areas AA designated on the land use map are intended to maintain or enhance the viability of agricultural operations in such areas by restricting the proliferation of noncompatible uses and protecting high-value agricultural land, while allowing pockets of infill development in appropriate areas. This is achieved through the design of the LESA system scoring, which awards points sparingly and has a high threshold score for development approval. The agricultural area goals are also achieved through the UDC zoning density requirement for lots, which generally requires a 35-acre minimum for agriculturally zoned development, and through the minimum levels of service MLS standards. For more information concerning how the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan relate to each zoning district refer to Table 107-147-3 at the end of article VII of this chapter.
