This district is intended to comprise lands devoted to agriculture, related activities and other open uses. This district is further intended to constitute a "hold" district to retain land in less intensive use until the time is appropriate for more intensive development so as to prevent scattered development and the premature and costly extension of utility mains and services related thereto, and to regulate development of the city so that it occurs in stages according to market needs and progresses contiguously outward from the developed urban area. Regulations are designed to limit uses to those which are compatible with agriculture, to prevent encroachment by more intensive uses, and to preserve the open space characteristics of the district.
