A-2
Rural Residential District
This district is intended to be utilized in areas where, due to remoteness, impermeability or shallowness of soils, the absence of the necessary urban services, or the continuation of farming or agricultural activities, development of suburban density is undesirable or unfeasible. Although the A-2 District is primarily a rural district, it also provides for low-density residential development, with lot sizes for single-family dwellings and mobile home structures being less restrictive than those of the A-l Agricultural-Forestry District. In addition, a primary objective of the A-2 District is to prevent undesirable urban sprawl and to exclude land uses which demand a level of urban services which are impossible or uneconomical to provide.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Greenhouse / nursery
Community / recreation center
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
