A, Agricultural District. The purpose of the A, Agricultural District is to accommodate agricultural activities and related uses on the fringe of the urbanized area of the City.

The type and intensity of uses permitted in this district will encourage and protect agricultural uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate change in district classification is requested by the property owner or initiated by the City.
