Le Roy City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 10
5 A Agricultural District
§ 10-5-1 General Character And Intent.
[1975 Code § 21.08]
This district is composed of land being used for agricultural activities and other such open land uses and located near the periphery of the jurisdictional boundary which is not expected to develop in intensive urban uses within the near future. It is the intent of this district to allow open type uses, to conserve the desirable characteristics of land, to prevent conflicts between agricultural and nonagricultural land uses and to act as a holding zone for land not immediately necessary for orderly urban development. Orderly growth can thus be attained by subsequent reclassification of areas in this district to other classifications, in accordance with the City's capital improvements program for the extension of basic utilities, streets and county utilities to attain desired urban development.
