A. The A-2 agricultural zone has been established for the primary purpose of providing a location where the cultivation of crops and the raising and keeping of livestock and related uses can be carried on and where such uses can be protected and encouraged. While dwellings and certain other uses not related to agriculture are permitted, such development is not encouraged in the A-2 agricultural zone because of the conflict which occurs between farm and nonfarm uses. For this reason, owners or developers of land should bear in mind that primacy is given in this zone to agriculture and livestock raising and any development would fall under conditional use.

B. The A-2 agricultural zone is characterized by dwellings situated on large lots and tracts of land which are devoted to the growing of crops and the pasturing and care and keeping of animals and fowl. Caretaker or owner occupied dwellings situated on the large lots and tracts of land are also characteristic of this zone. In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this title and to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the zone, the following regulations shall apply in the A-2 agricultural zone. (Prior code § 27-7-1)
