Agricultural Residential District
This district is designed to provide the landowner an opportunity to engage in limited hobby-type agricultural activities for personal use while maintaining a low density, rural, single-family residential character. Cluster design of subdivisions is encouraged and promoted in this district to reduce the installation of impervious surfaces such as roadways and sidewalks, provide large buffers for properties abutting active, large-scale agricultural operations, and to help provide for the protection of environmentally sensitive and culturally significant areas. This district is appropriate in a limited fashion in areas shown as agriculture, forestry,estate residential on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
