Nekoosa City Zoning Code

§ 17.22

A-1 Agricultural District.

[Amended 3-9-2021 by Ord. No. 607; 4-11-2023 by Ord. No. 625]
The A-1 Agricultural District is intended to provide for areas of lower-density development, while accommodating agricultural uses compatible with surrounding land uses, and prevent uncontrolled, uneconomical spread of residential development since it results in excessive costs to the City for provision of essential public improvements and services.
