The purpose of the AR-5 Agricultural Residential District is to preserve a population density appropriate for rural residential uses, to control nonagricultural encroachment onto prime agricultural areas, and to maintain the public health and safety in areas where water and sanitary facilities and other public services are not readily available. This district is further intended to perform the function of a buffer area between large parcel agricultural uses and more intensive urban uses, and to preserve land in open space uses of sufficient size for feasible development until such future time as urban development becomes appropriate.
