(a) Statement of Intent. The A-1 Agricultural District serves to preserve and protect the decreasing supply of agricultural lands from the indiscriminate infiltration of urban development or other enterprises in agricultural areas which adversely affect agricultural operators. The district also reserves certain land areas for large lot detached single-family dwellings of a rural nature that reflects existing residential development in certain areas as well as providing additional areas for similar development.
