The objectives of the UR District are:
(A) To prevent the premature intrusion of urban development into undeveloped/agricultural areas until urbanization is determined to be appropriate;
(B) To provide appropriate areas for certain predominately open space uses of land which are not injurious to agricultural/open space uses but which may not be harmonious with urban uses; and
(C) To preserve in agricultural use/open space land suited to eventual development in other uses until such time as streets, utilities and other infrastructure may be provided, in order to ensure the orderly conversion of the lands from agriculture to urban use.
