A-10
Agricultural-10
The purpose of the Agricultural-10 (A-10) District is to maintain the agrarian and low-density rural character of the county that optimizes economic use of the county's prime farmland and forest land resources and defines the countryside appearance and rural character of areas designated as rural preservation areas in the comprehensive plan. Specifically, the district is intended to accommodate and encourage agriculture, agri-business, agricultural and rural tourism, silviculture, and related uses and development. It is also intended to accommodate limited low-density single-family detached homes on lots of ten or more acres—primarily in the form of conservation subdivisions that conserve substantial open space and natural resources.
