Marissa City Zoning Code
A-1 AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT
§ 154.065 DISTRICT DEFINED.
The A Agricultural District encompasses areas that are presently undeveloped or sparsely developed and that, for various reasons, should remain so for the foreseeable future. Some tracts of land in the A District are fertile and relatively level and best suited for agricultural pursuits. Other tracts in the A District have such poor soils, steep slopes, inadequate natural drainage, and/or other problems, or are simply so distant from existing developed areas that the provision and maintenance of roads, utilities, and storm water drainage systems would be impractical or burdensomely expensive to the tax-paying public.

In the A District, only one dwelling shall be situated on any one lot.
