Bluffdale City Zoning Code

The Agricultural Zones are established to provide areas within the City where agricultural pursuits can be encouraged and supported. Uses permitted in the zone, in addition to agriculture, should be incidental thereto and should not change or inhibit the basic agricultural character of the zone. Rezoning of land in the Agricultural Zones should be accomplished in an orderly manner to avoid undue and inefficient extension of City infrastructure, and "leap frog" development patterns. Large tracts of agricultural land should not be separated by residential development. Rather, where possible, residential development should occur near the edge of existing residential development. (Ord. 10-24-00-1, 10-24-2000)

1. Permitted, conditional, and accessory uses allowed within the Agricultural Zones are set forth in section 11.350.030 of this title. (Ord. 2018-24, 9-26-2018)
   

1. Single-Family Dwelling Permitted: Lots or parcels of land which were legally created and eligible for a building permit prior to the adoption and application of this zone shall not be denied the issuance of a building permit for the construction of one singlefamily dwelling solely on the reason of nonconformance with the requirements of this chapter. A building permit must be obtained and all requirements of the appropriate Building Code must be satisfied. (Ord. 10-24-00-1, 10-24-2000; amd. Ord. 2001-04, 3-13-2001)
