Undisclosed Address, Missouri Ridge Township, ND 58801

Agricultural District

This district is intended to protect and preserve lands which are presently rural or agricultural in character and use. These lands are not presently required for urban development, but will accommodate residential development opportunities for those who desire rural living and are willing to live in more remote locations and to assume the costs of providing many of their own services and amenities; This district is also intended to protect and preserve areas of prime agricultural soils as identified in the Williston Development Guide, for continued agricultural and agriculturally-oriented uses. These areas consist of the most agriculturally productive soils and should not be converted from agricultural to another zoning classification unless and until there are no other lands available in Williston and the extraterritorial area to accommodate nonagricultural uses. This district is not intended to regulate agricultural uses, but to regulate those uses which threaten agriculture; This district is also intended to allow development of mineral resources including oil and gas, coal, potash, sand, gravel, scoria, and the like in a manner that does not adversely impact the natural environment and adjoining land uses.
