Summerset City Zoning Code
AG AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT
§ 155.035 GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
This district is intended to provide for land situated on the fringe of the urban area that is used for agricultural purposes, but will be undergoing urbanization in the future. Most of these areas will be in close proximity to residential and commercial uses and therefore the agricultural activities conducted in this district should not be detrimental to urban land uses. It is not intended that this district provide a location for a lower standard of residential, commercial, or industrial development than is authorized in other districts. The types of uses, area, and intensity of use of land which is authorized in this district is designed to encourage and protect agricultural uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate change in district classification is made.
