(a)

Purpose. The AG - District is intended to apply to those large areas the present use of which is primarily agricultural vacant, or the future proper development of which is uncertain, and for which a more restricted zoning would be premature and unreasonable. The regulations of this district are intended to permit a reasonable use of property while at the same time preventing the creation of conditions which would blight or prevent the proper use of contiguous or nearby property. The effect being the keeping of such zones in reserve, and providing some measure of control for future development by requiring rezoning when any substantial development does take place.
