Agriculture A-1 District. The intent of the A-1 District is to designate areas where agricultural productivity is high in most locations and where farming is the predominant and desired use of land. Other compatible land uses in this district could include a limited amount of low-density, single-family housing and other activities that are closely related to production-agriculture. Land use regulations are intended to encourage maximum retention of productive farmland while supporting a limited amount of low-density, single-family housing. Clustering (See definitions.) is encouraged where possible.

Agriculture A-2 District. The intent of the A-2 District is to designate areas where farming, extensive wooded areas and other natural resources are predominant and desired land use activities. Farm-related agricultural businesses located in this district are also suitable. Nonagricultural development, primarily scattered low-density, one-family housing, has occurred and is appropriate in the future. Land use regulations and development criteria are aimed at maintaining the effective operation of productive farms, supporting farm-related business and scattered or clustered (See definitions.), low-density, single-family housing and preventing serious environmental degradation and land use inconsistencies.

Residential R-1 District. The intent of the R-1 District is to designate areas where concentrations of low-density, primarily one-family housing, are located and are the expected and desired future developmental character. In most areas, larger parcels can be subdivided into residential lots. Regulations and restrictions in the R-1 District are intended to limit the extent of future development, to encourage clustering of lots as a method of preserving open space and environmentally sensitive areas, and to minimize the number of nonresidential land uses that can be established.

Residential R-2 District. The intent of the R-2 District is to designate areas where proximity to Tully Village could affect future land use and development patterns. A variety of housing types is appropriate and density can be increased when adequate utilities can be provided. Regulations and restrictions in the R-2 District are intended to produce a more concentrated urban setting and to establish neighborhood development characteristics. While public utilities may not yet exist in such areas, R-2 Districts are suitable targets for such services.

Residential R-3 District. The intent of the R-3 District is to designate areas where existing lakes and other natural features have produced sustained pressure for residential development that is likely to continue. Single-family housing, both permanent and seasonal, is an appropriate and desired use in these areas, but the absence of utility systems raises concerns about pollution and environmental damage. The transitional presence of agricultural in this district is suitable but can also be a potential source of environmental damage affecting nearby housing concentrations.

Business B-1 District. The intent of the B-1 District is to designate areas where a limited amount of service and commercial businesses are currently located and are appropriate. Businesses locating in the B-1 District should be those that can benefit from proximity to the Town's major traffic circulation network and from the availability of adequate parking opportunities. General retail and service businesses that do not need access to major highways or large parking areas should be limited. Development restrictions and standards should reflect the unique location of this commercial district and development proposals should be evaluated in terms of design compatibility and concerns for the environmental impacts of new construction.

Industry IND District. The intent of the IND District is to designate areas that are in transition from agriculture to a relatively concentrated mixture of commercial and industrial land uses. Flat land, high visibility, good vehicular access to major traffic routes and the potential for railroad service are important considerations for development in the IND District. Various forms of light manufacturing, warehousing, fabrication, assembly, research and development and similar types of land use are appropriate and desired. Because the area of the IND District is limited, development restrictions and standards should focus on businesses and industries that require larger sites and have access and transportation needs that are not readily available in other parts of the Town. Review and approval of each development proposal is necessary to promote compatibility between adjacent land uses, to achieve the most efficient use of limited land resources and to minimize adverse environmental impacts.
