Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.160.010 Statement of Intent

The zoning of property as A, Agricultural District, is intended to maintain and enhance agricultural operations and preserve agricultural lands utilized for crop production or the raising of livestock and to serve as a holding zone for lands where future urban expansion is possible, but not yet appropriate due to the unavailability of urban level facilities and services. The preservation of agricultural land is intended to prevent urban sprawl, control the public costs of providing urban services and reduce urban/rural conflicts which arise as a result of premature development of rural areas. The district is further intended to preserve open space and natural resource areas.
