A. R-A: Residential Agricultural.
1. Purpose. This district is intended to provide for semi-rural, low-density, residential development and agricultural uses, in more isolated areas.

To foster the dual purposes of this district, principal land uses include single-family and 2-family dwellings as well as agricultural and animal related uses, plant nurseries and garden supply stores, and community gardens, as provided in Table 3-1 (Permitted Use Table). This district may serve as a transition between strictly residential and strictly agricultural land uses.
