[Prior code § 17.0305(1)]
This district is intended to permit development which is solely
of a rural community character. The land use standards for this district
permit very low density single-family residential development at a
density of one dwelling unit for every 35 gross acres as a principal
use home, and at a density of one accessory farm dwelling unit for
every 40,000 square feet, as well as a variety of, agricultural and
agricultural support land uses. Density and intensity standards for
this district are designed to ensure that development which requires
even a minimum of urban services does not occur until such services
are available. As such, the agricultural/holding (A-1) district shall
either serve as a designation which preserves and protects agricultural
activities, or as a holding zone which provides for an interim land
use (agriculture) that will easily permit further development (with
rezoning to another district) at the appropriate time.
Rationale. This district is used to provide for the protection
of agricultural activities, and a very low density residential area
for those who want to live in a rural environment and who retain enough
land with their residence to ensure that the rural environment is
maintained as long as the agricultural holding (A-1) district designation
is retained. In this manner, even if all property were developed in
a given area with the agricultural holding district designation, the
rural community character of that area would still be maintained.
