18.25.010 AG-2 agricultural two acre zone established.
The AG-2 agricultural two acre zone is established to provide areas where single-family residential development and associated uses may be harmoniously integrated with agricultural pursuits. This zone is intended to allow the keeping of farm animals in conjunction with single-family dwelling units, yet retain land in parcels large enough to provide efficient and attractive development or as clustered developments to encourage natural or agricultural open spaces. The AG-2 zone is also intended to accommodate equestrian-oriented residential developments, allowing a design which could contain noncommercial stables, training areas and equestrian or pedestrian trails as an integral part of the development. (Ord. 2016-09 § 1, 2016; Ord. 66 § 5.2.3, 1993.)
