Zoning
AT
Agricultural Transition District
The Agricultural Transition area is intended to avoid premature subdivision of areas contiguous to growing cities. The ultimate development of the area involves extension of urban services and likely annexation. It is anticipated that most Agricultural Transition areas will not be annexed and developed at urban densities during the time frame of this plan. However, many of these areas will be served with sanitary sewer within this time frame, and the Agricultural Transition district is needed to prevent leapfrog development and premature annexation.
