Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of this district is to protect lands with an economic capability for agriculture and which are now essentially undeveloped except for uses associated with agriculture or forestry operation. In this district, planned unit developments which do not remove the potential of the land for agricultural production such as open space, conservation and certain forms of outdoor recreation, are encouraged. Further road development and the extension of public water supply and sewage disposal systems are not planned for this district. Therefore, only low density residential and recreation development which uses existing facilities, which can adequately dispose of its sewage, and is compatible with the district’s purpose and guidelines should be allowed.
