Large animal husbandry is permitted by this zone. Chapter 9-56 of this code prescribes standards for the keeping of animals.

(Ord. 98-8 § 2 (part): prior code § 9-07.040)

9-12.050 Standards.

The standards applicable to this district are shown within Table 9-12.050. Some estate residential properties may be further limited as to use or development due to application of hillside design requirements as contained in Chapter 9-50 of this code.
