RA
Rural Agriculture District
The intent of the RA District is to designate areas where farming and farm-related businesses are the predominant and desired land use activities. Some nonagricultural development, largely low-density housing, has occurred, is anticipated in the future, and is appropriate. Measures to preserve the viability of farming activities are appropriate.
