Lysander City Zoning Code

ARTICLE V

Agricultural-Residential AR-40 District

§ 320-13 Structures and uses.

The AR-40 District is intended for undeveloped portions of the Town in proximity to areas already developed with suburban uses and likely to be developed themselves for similar suburban-type development. It is intended to accommodate the continued use of existing farms and to allow for minimal residential development except where public services can be provided pursuant to incentive zoning. Residential properties within this district will rely upon individual on-site systems for provision of essential services, especially septic disposal. Therefore, the residential lots are larger than other residential districts to minimize burdens upon the environment.
