Description. Cultivation land uses include all operations primarily oriented to the on-site, outdoor raising of plants. This land use includes trees which are raised as a crop to be replaced with more trees after harvesting, such as in nursery or Christmas tree operations. The raising of plants for consumption by farm animals is considered cultivation if the plants are consumed by animals which are located off-site.

Description. Husbandry land uses include all operations primarily oriented to the on-site raising and/or use of animals at an intensity of less than one animal unit (as defined in the definitions section) per acre.

Description. Intensive agricultural land uses include all operations primarily oriented to the on-site raising and/or use of animals at an intensity equal to or exceeding one animal unit (as defined in the definitions section) per acre and/or agricultural activities requiring large investments in structures. Examples of such land uses include feed lots, hog farms, poultry operations, fish farms, commercial greenhouse operations and certain other operations meeting this criterion.

Description. Agricultural service land uses include all operations pertaining to the sale, handling, transport, packaging, storage, or disposal of agricultural equipment, products, by-products, or materials primarily used by agricultural operations. Examples of such land uses include agricultural implement sales, storage, or repair operations; feed and seed stores; agricultural chemical dealers and/or storage facilities; animal feed storage facilities; commercial dairies; food processing facilities; canning and other packaging facilities; and agricultural waste disposal facilities (except commercial composting uses, see Section 17.14.060).

Description. On-site agricultural retail land uses include land uses solely associated with the sale of agricultural products grown exclusively on the site. The sale of products grown or otherwise produced off-site shall not be permitted within on-site agricultural retail operations and such activity constitutes retail sales as a commercial land use. Packaging and equipment used to store, display, package or carry products for the convenience of the operation or its customers (such as egg cartons, baskets, containers, and bags) shall be produced off-site.

Description. Selective cutting land uses include any operation associated with the one-time, continuing, or cumulative clearing, cutting, harvesting, or other destruction of trees (including by fire) where the extent of such activity is limited to an area (or combined areas) of less than or equal to 40% of the woodlands on the property (or up to 100% for developments approved prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter). Selective cutting activity shall be limited to areas located within development pads which are designated on recorded plats or certified survey maps. The destruction of trees in an area in excess of this amount of the woodlands on the property shall be considered clear cutting, (see Section 17.08.070).

Description. Clear cutting land uses include the one-time, continuing, or cumulative clearing, cutting, harvesting, or other destruction (including by fire) of trees in an area (or combined areas) of more than 40% of the woodlands on a property (or up to 100% for developments approved prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter). Clear cutting is permitted only as a conditional use within the jurisdiction of this title. Areas which have been clear cut as a result of intentional action following the effective date of this title without the granting of a conditional use permit are in violation of this title and the property owner shall be fined for such violation (in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.74.060) and shall be required to implement the mitigation standards required for the destruction of woodlands solely at his or her expense, including costs associated with site inspection to confirm the satisfaction of mitigation requirements. Areas which have been clear cut unintentionally as a result of fire shall not subject the owner of the property to fines associated with the violation of this title, but shall require the satisfaction of mitigation requirements at the owner's expense, including cost associated with site inspection to confirm the satisfaction of mitigation requirements.
