Agricultural/Residential Districts

These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for the growing of crops, animal husbandry, dairying, forestry, and other similar intensive agricultural activities which generally occur and characterize rural rather than urban areas. These districts are designed, furthermore, to provide for very low density residential development generally on un-subdivided tracts of land where public water and sewer service may not be available and where the provision of appropriate urban services cannot be physically and economically facilitated. In addition, these districts may include areas and lands not suited by reason of soil, geologic, topographic, or other limitations for development. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses which serve specifically the residents of these districts, or that are benefited by an open environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences that are incompatible with a rural environment. It is the express purpose of this ordinance to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that conditional uses and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this ordinance.
