Zoning
A(A)
Agricultural District
There exists in certain fringe areas of the city, land which is presently used for agricultural purposes and to which urban services are not yet available. These lands should appropriately continue to be used for agricultural purposes until needed for urban purposes in conformity with the orderly growth of the city. The uses permitted in the A(A) district are intended to accommodate normal farming, ranching, and gardening activities. It is anticipated that all of the A(A) district area will be changed to other urban zoning categories as the area within the corporate limits of Dallas becomes fully developed. Newly annexed territory will be temporarily zoned as an A(A) district until permanent zoning is established.
