.01 INTENT AND DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
The section intends to protect existing agricultural and other non-intensive uses to prevent
premature development and non-orderly encroachment of higher intensity urban uses and
to help guide urban growth into suitable areas. The district also intends to maintain and
enhance agricultural operations and preserve agricultural lands used for crop production
or for raising livestock, and to serve as a holding zone for lands where future urban
expansion is possible, but not appropriate due to the lack of urban facilities and services.
The preservation of agricultural land intends to prevent urban sprawl, control the public
costs of providing urban services, and reduce urban-rural conflicts that arise because of
premature development of rural areas. The district also intends to preserve open space
and natural resource areas.
