1. Statement of Intent. This District is an overlay zoning that may be used in addition to existing zoning such as A or R Districts. Its intent is threefold:
A. To preserve agricultural use of land in areas beyond the corporate limits but which fall in the area set out in the 28E Agreement between the City of Carroll and Carroll County for zoning control.
B. To encourage the ordered development of housing in those areas immediately adjacent to existing housing within and abutting the city.
C. To avoid the many problems inherent in the development of 5 acre lots in areas not adjacent to current development. These problems include “hop-scotch” developments that are difficult to provide with city services as the city expands, and “land-locking” of areas resulting from development of land abutting roadways with no planned access to inner lots.
