§ 154.031 RURAL DISTRICTS STANDARDS AND USES.

   (A)   Purpose.

      (1)   AG Agriculture. The Agriculture District is primarily to accommodate agricultural operations and practices. In addition, the AG District is intended to preserve and maintain the established rural character and agricultural traditions of Bargersville and the surrounding area. It allows agricultural development by reason of location and the availability of resources and infrastructure, while allowing scattered single family homes at a very low density.

      (2)   R-R Rural Residential. The Rural Residential District is intended to protect those features within the rural areas of the town that are valued by the community and contribute its character. The agricultural context, pastoral setting, natural features, and wildlife habitats are essential components of that rural character. Single-family homes are permitted within this district at low densities, along with uses compatible with the openness of the district and the country setting.

   (G)   Architectural standards. See § 154.147.

   (H)   Miscellaneous provisions.

      (1)   Any lot of record zoned AG Agriculture that was within the A-1F District at the time of annexation may be split by minor subdivision (see § 154.131(C)) provided the resulting parcels, including the lot of record, do not exceed an average density of one dwelling unit per ten acres. If the resulting density on a lot of record will exceed this density, the parcel must first be rezoned to R-R Rural Residential prior to proceeding with an application for subdivision approval.

      (2)   New residential dwelling units are required to connect to municipal water and sanitary sewer services. The Town Council may grant a waiver to this requirement (See § 154.145). Other jurisdictional permits may be required.
