PERTINENT CODE SECTIONS
Sec. 7.1. - A1 Agricultural District (Intensive Farming).
This zoning district is comprised primarily of open farm land and land used for intensive
agricultural and livestock and poultry production. The intent of the regulations is to encourage the
maintenance of the general rural character of openness and discourage the subdivision of land that
is better suited to agricultural usage. Residential subdivisions are inappropriate in this district. A
farm or farming operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the farm or farm
operation alleged to be a nuisance conforms to generally accepted agriculture and management
practices. The intent of this ordinance is to prevent the non-agricultural resident from encroaching
on existing, approved, or projected expansion of farms or farming operations.
7.1.1 Permitted Uses. Within the A1 District, only the following uses are permitted:
7.1.1.2 Individual manufactured home.
Sec. 7.2. - A2 Agricultural-Residential District.
This zoning district is composed primarily of limited agricultural activities in areas where
compatible low density, rural, single-family residential development has occurred or is occurring.
The regulations for this district are designed to provide the landowner an opportunity to engage in
limited hobby type agricultural activities for personal use, with the exception of fresh fruits,
flowers or vegetables raised on the property that may be sold to the public. A farm or farming
operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the farm or farm operation alleged
to be a nuisance conforms to generally accepted agriculture and management practices. The intent
of this ordinance is to prevent the non-agricultural resident from encroaching on existing,
approved, or projected expansion of farms or farming operations
7.2.1 Permitted Uses. Within the A2 District, the following uses are permitted:
7.2.1.2 Individual manufactured home.
Sec. 7.13. - RM Multi-Family Residential District.

facilities needed for high density living.
