Toquerville City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 9

AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS

10-9-1: PURPOSE:

   The purpose of both the A-0.5 District and the A-1 District is to identify and preserve appropriate lands for permanent agricultural use, and such incidental uses normally and necessarily related to the primary agricultural use. The Agricultural District's regulations are intended to maintain the unique character of the City's agricultural areas and to ensure the survival of agricultural uses and attendant open spaces. The minimum Lot sizes of the Agricultural Districts dictate the types and intensities of uses that are appropriate for each District with more intense agricultural and incidental uses being prohibited on smaller agricultural Lots.
