General Description. This District is intended to provide a location for the land situated on the fringe of the City that may be used for agricultural purposes, but may be undergoing urbanization in the foreseeable future.

It is not intended that this district provide a location for a lower standard of residential, commercial, or industrial development than is authorized in other districts. The types of uses and intensity of use of land as authorized in this district are designed to encourage and protect any agricultural uses until urbanization occurs and the appropriate changes in district classification are made.
