It is the intent of this chapter in establishing an Agricultural District to facilitate the proper use of lands best suited to agriculture through preventing the admixture of urban and rural uses which creates incompatibility and conflict, places unbalanced tax loads on agricultural lands to help pay for urban services and contributes to the premature termination of agricultural pursuits. This zone is also designed to prevent health hazards brought about by the illogical placement of inappropriately high residential densities in the otherwise open countryside.

It is the intent of this chapter in establishing a Rural Development-1 District to accommodate in a logical manner roadside development trends. Many types of uses find it desirable to locate along a major highway in the rural areas. If the carrying capacity of the highways and the open character of the countryside are preserved through lot size regulations, this is not an undesirable trend. Therefore, it is the intent of this chapter to allow various uses along designated highways; provided, they locate on lots having at least a 240-foot frontage and that access of driveways is controlled.
(Prior Code, § 152.041) (Ord. passed 3-9-1976; Ord. passed 6-20-2024)
The intent of this chapter in establishing a Rural Development-2 District is to promote the logical growth of uses around the county’s communities. Additionally, this district will provide areas for the increasing demand for rural non-farm development sites. As development pressures dictate, this District will be rezoned to allow those uses indicated on the Land Use Plan Map.
(Prior Code, § 152.042) (Ord. passed 3-9-1976; Ord. passed 6-20-2024)
The intent of this chapter in establishing a Low Density Residential District is to provide areas for families wishing to live on large lots in residential neighborhoods within communities.
(Prior Code, § 152.044) (Ord. passed 3-9-1976; Ord. passed 6-20-2024)
The intent of this chapter in establishing a High Density Single-Family Residential District is to protect those residential areas of the community that were developed in most part prior to World War II from encroachment from potential conflicting uses and to provide for future residential and related development and redevelopment.
(Prior Code, § 152.045) (Ord. passed 3-9-1976; Ord. passed 6-20-2024)
