Zoning
AG-1
Exclusive Agriculture District
This zoning district is derived from the AG-1 Agricultural land use classification in the Charleston Township Land Use Plan. Consistent with the AG-1 planning classification, this zoning district has been created to serve two primary purposes: preserve for agricultural production purposes prime agricultural lands, including but not limited to properties enrolled in the Public Act 116 Farmland Preservation Program; allow maximum freedom of operations for agricultural pursuits by protecting such uses from encroachment of nonagricultural uses. To implement these purposes of the AG-1 zoning district, non-agricultural uses are substantially precluded, and severe restrictions are imposed on allowed development, including new single family dwellings. While most of the areas included in this zoning district will be crop lands, the district may also include lands which are presently or may in the future appropriately be used for other types of agricultural production, including livestock production.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Livestock production
