(A) Purpose. The Transition Zone District is established primarily for those annexed unplatted areas within the city that have not been zoned for development and are undergoing a transition from, in most cases, agricultural to urban uses. It is the expressed intent of this district to allow only crop farming or similar agricultural uses in order to reduce potential land use conflicts as urban development occurs in the Transition Zone District. Certain lands in the district may be released for compact and orderly urban development, according to the comprehensive Development Guide Plan, pending proper timing and providing for the economical provision of city services. As these criteria take place a more conventional urban zoning district will replace the Transitional Zone District.
(B) Plants. All non-farm structures shall be sited on a separately surveyed and described parcel.
(C) Utilities. All non-farm uses hereafter erected shall be connected to city water and sewer systems.
(D) Conditional uses. All conditional uses will be permitted only when their:
(1) Locations are compatible with anticipated long range plans of the city, and
(2) The use is compatible for the use of the area as indicated on the long range development plan for the surrounding areas submitted by the developer and approved by the Commission. Strip development along roads and streets will be discouraged.
