9-5A-3: Developable Density And Lot Area
9-5A-4: Permitted Uses
9-5A-5: Accessory Uses

9-5A-1: PURPOSE:
The A-40 district is established to: a) preserve those lands either presently in agricultural use or having potential for agricultural use (based on soil characteristics, topography, microclimate, the availability of water, the cost of applying adequate water for irrigation and distance from incorporated cities); b) encourage agricultural activities, thereby helping to ensure that commercial agriculture will continue as a long term land use and a viable economic activity within the county; c) preserve natural features and the rural landscape, while allowing very low density, clustered residential development; and d) respect existing features of the rural landscape.
The preferred land use in the A-40 district is agriculture. The district is intended to permit a range of uses related to agriculture, to encourage the preservation of large blocks of farmland, and to permanently conserve tracts of land which remain after permitted residential development has occurred. Residential development shall be permitted only when it is located and designed to minimize its impact on agricultural land, farming operations, and sensitive environmental features and when it is found that the cumulative effect of residential development in the vicinity does not change the character of agriculturally used lands. (Ord. 2006-05, 6-29-2006)
9-5A-2: LOCATION/APPLICABILITY:
This A-40 district shall only apply to lands designated A-20 prior to July 5, 2006, and that are outside of the urban influence boundaries, as defined in section 9-5-2 of this title, and that are outside of township one north and ranges 18 and 19 (including section 35) east, Boise meridian. (Ord. 2006-05, 6-29-2006)
9-5A-3: DEVELOPABLE DENSITY AND LOT AREA:
   A.   Minimum Lot Area: The minimum lot area in a subdivision shall be forty (40) acres, except within an A-40 cluster development when authorized pursuant to Blaine County ordinance 77-6, as amended (subdivision ordinance). The minimum lot area in an A-40 cluster development shall be two and one-half (21/2) acres.
   B.   Maximum Base Density: The maximum base density shall be one dwelling unit per forty (40) acres.
   C.   On A Lot Of Record Between Forty And One Hundred Sixty Acres In Size:
      1.   An additional lot and unit of base density may be permitted in a subdivision.
      2.   The minimum area of any lot shall be twenty (20) acres except as allowed within an A-40 cluster development when authorized pursuant to title 10, chapter 9 of this code.
      3.   The maximum base density shall be one dwelling unit per twenty (20) acres. (Ord. 2006-14, 11-21-2006; Ord. 2006-05, 6-29-2006)
