The Agricultural Zone is established as a zone in which agriculture and certain related uses are encouraged as the principal uses of land. The specific intent of the Agricultural Zone is to facilitate the long-term use of lands best suited to agricultural production by preventing a mixture of urban and rural uses which often create incompatibilities and conflicts with agricultural pursuits which place unbalanced tax loads on agricultural lands and which may result in speculative or inflated land values which encourage the premature termination of agricultural pursuits.

This VA-1 Zone shall specifically permit all agricultural pursuits, including animal husbandry, and shall also include golf courses, public parks, recreational facilities, game preserves, all public and private schools, electric and telephone transmissions, government utility towers (under 50 feet in height) or relay stations, veterinary hospitals, riding stables, forest preserves, fish hatcheries, facilities for sale of home processed or unprocessed farm produce grown or raised on the premises, tree and plant nurseries and all similar horticulture or animal husbandry related uses and normal accessory farm buildings.

The following uses may be permitted in the VA-1 Zone as special uses after a public hearing and a finding by the Board that such uses are necessary and desirable in a particular location:
