Agricultural-Forestry District

This district is intended to preserve space for agricultural and forestry uses which together comprise an important segment of the economy of Bedford County and to better protect these agricultural and agri-tourism economies by respecting the important cultural and economic value of our unique natural aesthetic resources. The primary intent of the A-1 District is to minimize conflicts between agricultural and forestry activities and various non-farm activities; to permit lands that are best suited for intense agricultural uses to be preserved for these suited purposes; and to prevent lands unsuitable for development of an urban or non-rural nature - due to topographic problems, location, or the inability to provide necessary urban services, from being encroached upon by these incompatible land uses. Areas assigned to the A-1 District are primarily areas where growth of an urban or non-rural nature is deemed undesirable for one or more of the reasons outlined above. Although the A-1 District is primarily a rural district, it also provides for low-density residential development with lot sizes for single-family dwellings being more restrictive than those of the other residential districts.
