A. RA Rural Acreage Dwelling District: The RA district provides single-family residential housing with rural amenities in the rural areas of the city. Special attention should be given to overall design and location of lots to assure provision of light, air, and open space, and to protect the area from intensified zoning once it has been developed and/or until it is ready to be urbanized. The district is intended to allow the development of one acre minimum (or determined by perc test) lots as part of a planned and designed rural subdivision of not less than ten (10) acres in size. (Ord. 5916, 8-9-1999; amd. 2003 Code)
B. A Agricultural District: The A district is designed to encourage and preserve areas intended primarily for agricultural purposes and to prevent untimely development until it is ready to be urbanized. It offers protection to agricultural land within the city from the depreciating effect of objectionable, hazardous, and environmentally disruptive uses; permits low intensity residential development along with certain essential commercial and institutional uses; and prevents untimely scattering of more dense urban development. It is not intended that this district provide a lower standard of development than is authorized in other districts.
C. P Public District: The P district is intended to offer protection of property held and used for the benefit of the general public, and where property is acquired and held for the special benefit of the inhabitants of the city, and to exercise the right of regulation over public properties in a manner consistent with the laws and general policies of the state.
