A
Agricultural Industry District
The A Agricultural Industry District encompasses prime and important farmland in St. Clair County where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical conditions are well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. These areas have been traditionally used for agricultural farming, the raising of domestic animals and poultry, horticulture, forestry, and truck gardening.; The St. Clair County Board is aware of the historical and continuing importance of agriculture to the economic and social structure of the County and of the unique characteristics and requirements necessary to retain agriculture as a viable industry. In recognition of this, the St. Clair County Board has established and adopted as a long range goal, the conservation and preservation of prime and important farmland (as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Evaluation System) and has acted to implement this goal through the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
