Forest Land District

The Forest Land District is intended to carry out the following purposes: To encourage forestry and agriculture as the dominant uses of such lands; To allow non-forest and non-farm uses only upon a finding that such uses will assure the retention of forest lands for forest uses and are consistent with those uses permitted in LC 10.106 and 10.107; To preserve such lands for the production of forest and agricultural products and ensuring that conversion of such lands to non-forest and non-farm uses, when necessary and appropriate, occurs in an orderly and compatible manner; To be used in remote areas of the County not appropriate for more intensive development than permitted by the regulation of this District.; It is County's policy to protect forestry and agricultural operations from conflicting land uses. Nothing in this chapter is intended to interfere with normal forestry or agricultural management or practices that might result in conditions such as noise, dust or smoke, visual impacts or odors for temporary periods of time. Existing or proposed non-forest or non-farm uses i.e., dwellings within the Forest Land District must recognize that the intent of the District is to protect resource management activities and that in the event of conflict between residential uses and normal forestry or agricultural practices, this chapter will be interpreted in favor of resource management practices.
