Agriculture-Forestry District

It is the intent of this district to provide space for forestry, agriculture, and agriculturally oriented uses and structures which comprise an important part in the economy of Macon 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; to permit lands best suited for intense agricultural uses to be preserved for these suited purposes; and to prevent lands unsuitable for building of an urban nature or non-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 intensive and low density land use activities are deemed desirable for one or more of the reasons outlined above and is consistent with the provisions and intent of the Macon County Growth Plan and TCA 6-58-101 through 6- 58-115. The following regulations shall apply in the A-1, Agriculture-Forestry District, as defined on the Zoning Map of Macon County, Tennessee.
