§ 40-105. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    AG zoning districts are intended to implement the rural character areas established on the future development map of the city comprehensive plan, community agenda and as described in the community agenda. The prevailing land use pattern in this zoning district is agriculture, forestry, and very low density residential uses mostly incidental to farm operations as the principal use. The maximum density established for this district (one unit per three acres) is the most that can be permitted while still maintaining desired character.

    (b)

    Sanitary sewer service is generally not available to land in this zoning district, and public water may or may not be available. Conventional suburban subdivisions even at low densities are considered incompatible with desired agricultural and rural residential character.
