General Agricultural District
The General Agricultural District, A-1, is intended for application to the rural areas of the county generally outside of the primary service area and where utilities and urban services generally do not exist and are not planned for the near future. The purpose of the district is to maintain a rural environment suitable for farming, forestry and low-density rural residence and at the same time to provide for certain recreational and public or semipublic and institutional uses which may require a spacious site and which, with proper conditions imposed, are compatible with rural surroundings. The district also serves to limit the scattering of commercial, industrial and urban residential uses into rural areas where such uses are not planned. The area regulations of the district are intended to provide a measure of flexibility in lot size and arrangement if coupled with a design review to ensure more careful use of the land.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Dairy
Greenhouse / nursery
Livestock production
Winery & vineyard
Assembly/ meeting place
