§ 154.200  FARM DISTRICTS.
   May be of the exclusive type or the cumulative type.  Agriculture is the primary use.  Other uses are secondary and accessory.  Also permitted can be certain public and semi-public uses.  Cumulative-type farm zoning districts can often serve as transition zones from agriculture to residential uses, including subdivisions.  The transition may be facilitated by lowering lot size requirements.  Usual minimum tract requirements for farm districts range from ten to 80 acres.

§ 154.203  WATERSHED DISTRICTS.
   Watershed districts reserve mountainous and hilly land for water production, forestry, wildlife, and recreation.  Their purpose is to protect water sources and to avoid loss from improper use of land that has high water tables and is subject to periodic flooding.  Forestry, agriculture, and grazing are deemed desirable principal uses.  The types of recreation that need large acreages are suitable secondary uses.
(Ord. 71-09, passed 9-7-71)
§ 154.204  OPEN-SPACE DISTRICTS.
   Open-space districts are used to reserve rural areas on the urban fringe for future generations, to provide permanent open space.  Usually crop and tree farming may be allowed along with grazing and recreational activities.
