(c)

District boundaries. When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the district map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

District boundary lines are either the center lines of railroads, highways, streets, alleys or easements, or the boundary lines of sections, tracts or lots, or such lines extended or as indicated.

(2)

In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, whenever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a street or highway the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with the dimensions shown on the map from section, quarter-section, or division lines, or center lines of streets, highways or railroad rights-of-way unless otherwise indicated.

(3)

Where a lot held in one ownership and of record on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restricted district, provided that this construction shall not apply if it increases the less restricted frontage of the lot by more than 25 feet.

(d)

Zoning of streets, alleys, public ways, waterways, and railroad rights-of-way. All streets, alleys, public ways, waterways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting on such alleys, streets, public ways, and railroad rights-of-way, or waterways. Where the center line of a street, alley, public-way, waterway or a railroad right-of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such center line.

(e)

Rezoning of public and semi-public areas. An area indicated on the district map as a public park, recreation area, public school site, cemetery, or other similar open space, shall not be used for any other purpose than that designated; and when the use of the area is discontinued, it shall automatically be zoned R-1 One-Family Residence District until appropriate zoning is authorized by the city council within three months after the date of application is filed for rezoning.

(f)

Zoning of annexed land. All land which may hereafter become a part of the incorporated area of the city, as a result of the annexation, shall automatically be classified as R-1 One-Family Residence District, except as may be provided for by a pre-annexation or annexation agreement and following a public hearing by the plan commission.

(g)

Zoning of annexed land used for agricultural purposes. Notwithstanding subsection (f) of this section, all land which may hereinafter become part of the incorporated area of the city, as the result of annexation and which land is zoned agricultural under any county zoning ordinance, or this chapter, or which, at the time of annexation is being used principally for agricultural purposes, shall be automatically classified under this chapter as an AG Agricultural District until such time as rezoning of the land to some other zoning use or district is approved by the city.

(Ord. No. 2001-26, § 1(2-1), 10-8-2001; Ord. No. 2005-20, § 2(2-1), 9-12-2005)

Sec. 98-32. - AG Agricultural District.

(a)

Purpose. It is recognized that the public health and welfare of the citizens of the city and the area within contiguous territory not more than 1½ miles beyond its corporate limits are greatly dependent upon the sustenance and economic benefits provided by a viable agricultural industry. This district is intended to ensure that the land areas therein which are well suited for production of food and fiber are retained for such production, unimpeded by the establishment of incompatible uses which would hinder farm operations and irretrievably deplete agricultural lands.

(1)

This district acknowledges that agriculture is a specialized form of industry characterized by the production through biological and botanical processes of saleable farm products as a result of the combination of raw materials (soils, seeds, plants, water and nutrients), manpower (farm labor and machinery), and energy (solar and power equipment).

(2)

Other specific purposes for which this district is established include:

To preserve woodlands and wetlands associated with farms which, because of their natural physical features, are useful as water retention and groundwater recharge areas, and as habitat for plant and animal life; and which have an important aesthetic and scenic value which contributes to the unique character of the agricultural district.

To provide the basis for land tax assessments which reflect its existing agricultural nature and owing to these regulations, its limited use for other purposes.

To prevent the conversion of agricultural land to scattered non-farm development which, when unregulated, unnecessarily increases the cost of public services to all citizens and results in the premature disinvestment in agriculture.

(3)

The agricultural district boundaries are generally based on an analysis of soils that identified those especially suited for farming as classified by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (based on the characteristics of soils, drainage, topography, and the availability of water). Other factors were also taken into consideration when establishing the district boundaries, including the existing investment in agriculture, the extent of and proximity to non-farm development, the average parcel size of existing farms, and the minimum acreage needed for most farm operations.

(b)

Permitted uses. No building, structure, or parcel of land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected, altered, or enlarged which is arranged, intended, or designed for other than one of the following uses:

(1)

Agriculture and agricultural purposes.

(2)

Agricultural labor housing, accessory to a farm residence located on a minimum of 40 acres, provided that such housing is located in proximity to the farm residence. The total number of housing units on the farm, including the residence and all agricultural labor housing units, shall not exceed one unit per 40 acres.
