The CD Conservation District, which is a Special District in the city, is established in recognition of the fact that there are special uses which should be accommodated in the community, but which, due to their nature, are not entirely compatible with uses permitted in the standard districts, and to provide for agricultural uses and open space within outlying parts of the city. The object of the regulations in this District is to encourage agricultural and conservation uses and to discourage any other development.

(Ord. 1-91, passed 3-4-1991)

   The following uses shall be permitted in the CD Conservation District:

   (a)   Single-family dwellings;

   (b)   Agriculture, including dairying, farming, pasturage, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture and animal and poultry husbandry;

   (c)   Recreational uses privately or governmentally owned and/or operated for archery, boating, fishing, golfing and swimming, including public and private country clubs, riding stables and similar uses consistent with the rural character of the area; and

   (d)   Water conservation uses, including water supply works, flood control and water protection works, fish and game hatcheries and preserves, and other uses similar in character to the above specified uses.

(Ord. 1-91, passed 3-4-1991)
