General Farming District III

The board of supervisors and town boards of supervisors adopting this chapter find that urbanization is taking place in certain areas of the county at a rapid pace, that scattered urbanization can greatly increase the public cost of installing public facilities, such as sewers and schools required to service such growth, and therefore that the public interest will be best served by channeling such development to suitable county areas only at such time as it is economically feasible to plan, budget and commit to construction of the necessary supporting public services and facilities. Consequently, some county areas of potential growth will be placed in so-called holding districts, A-3 general farming district III, where nonagricultural development will be deferred until the appropriate legislative bodies determine that it is economically feasible to provide public services and facilities for uses other than those permitted in the holding district. It is intended that the status of all holding districts will be reviewed by the county economic development and land use planning committee no less frequently than every five years in order to determine whether, in light of the foregoing general standards, there should be a transfer of all or part of a holding district to some other use district. Any such review will consider the need for permitting other uses on such land, the nature of the use or uses to be permitted and the cost and availability of the public services and facilities which will be necessitated by such new uses or uses.
