Zoning
A-1
Agriculture District
It is the intent of this district to provide space for forestry, agriculture and agriculturally oriented uses and structures which provide an important part in the economy of Smith County. It is the intent here to protect the physical and economic well being of agriculture operations and to prevent the encroachment of urban and other incompatible land uses on farmlands by minimizing conflicts between agricultural and forestry activities with various non-farm activities; to permit lands best suited for intense agricultural uses to be reserves for these suited purpose; and to prevent lands unsuitable for building of an urban or nor rural nature, due to topographic problems, location, or the inability to provide necessary urban services, or being encroached upon by these incompatible land uses. Areas assigned to the A-1 District are primarily areas where low density land use activities are deemed desirable for more of the reasons outlined above and is consistent with the provisions and intent of the Smith County Growth Plan and sections 6-58-101 through 6-58-115 Tennessee Code.
