A.    The agricultural zone (A-1) is established to provide areas in which agricultural pursuits can be contained within the municipality. The A-1 zone is designed and intended to protect agricultural uses from encroachment of urban development until such time as residential, commercial or industrial uses in such areas become necessary and desirable. Uses permitted in the A-1 zone, in addition to agricultural uses, must be incidental thereto and should not change the basic agricultural character of the zone. Conversion of the agricultural zone to zones allowing urban uses should be accomplished in an orderly and progressive manner, with no "leapfrogging" encroachments of such uses or developments into the agricultural area. The A-1 zone is characterized by large lots intermixed with single-family dwellings.

    B.    In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this chapter and to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of this zone, the following regulations shall apply in the A-1 agricultural zone. (PZSC § 03-17-001)
