18.30.010 AG-1 agricultural one acre zone established.

The AG-1 agricultural zone is established to provide areas where single-family residential development and associated uses may be harmoniously integrated with agricultural pursuits. The zone is intended to allow the keeping of farm animals in conjunction with single-family dwelling units, yet retain land in parcels large enough to provide efficient and attractive development to encourage natural or agricultural open spaces. The AG-1 zone is also intended to accommodate equestrian-oriented residential developments, allowing a design which could contain noncommercial stables, training areas and equestrian or pedestrian trails as an integral part of the development. (Ord. 2016-09 § 1, 2016; Ord. 66 § 5.1, 1993.)
