Agricultural/Single-Family Residential District

The A-2 Agricultural District of Monroe County recognizes that some of the land indicated for agricultural purposes in the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map will not be farmed because of a variety of conditions including topography, karst terrain, flooding, wetlands, vegetation, man-made facilities and barriers, including essential services and public facilities. Further, that all areas of high agricultural productivity in the County have not been designated in the Comprehensive Plan and zoned exclusively for agriculture because of existing urban development. This district is primarily for areas undergoing transition from agriculture to more intensive residential uses, to serve as a buffering district between the A-1 and the residential districts.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Ranch
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Other
