Agricultural District

The purpose of the A-2 Agricultural District is to conserve productive farming areas, assure a proper economic and physical environment for continued agricultural use of land, maintain an open rural character; assure compatible types and densities of development on lands that are useable for agricultural pursuits; minimize other land uses incompatible with farming, and prevent the uncontrolled spread of residential development. Persons and entities not engaged in agricultural pursuits in the Agricultural Zone should be aware that the primary intention of the Zone is to permit usual acceptable farming and farming practices which may generate dust, odor, smoke, noise, and vibration; during growing seasons machinery may be operated at other than daylight hours; certain generally acceptable farming operations may involve the use and spraying of herbicides or pesticides; and acceptable practices in keeping animals may involve odors or noises. Accordingly, any person or entity residing or working in an Agricultural Zone should anticipate these types of occurrences and recognize that such are the by-product of zoning an area in the Town where agricultural endeavors are encouraged to thrive.
