The AG Agriculture District is intended to offer protection to agricultural land within the City limits from the depreciating effects of objectionable, hazardous, and unsightly uses and, at the same time, prevent untimely scattering of more dense urban development. The types of uses and intensity of use of lands which are authorized in this district are designed to encourage and protect all agricultural uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate changes in district classification are made.
