§ 15-801. PURPOSE.  


Latest version.
  • The Buffer (B) District is intended to separate urban uses from commercial agricultural uses to preserve long-term viable agricultural areas and intensive farming operations in adjacent areas. The Buffer District serves to prevent urban residential and related uses from developing near agricultural operations, and thereby infringing on full operation of farmland of importance. Allowable uses include environmental habitat; water conveyance, retention, and recharge; preservation and preparation of gravel resources; beneficial uses related to permanent water resource facilities; limited agriculture and necessary supportive uses, such as agricultural processing (not including animal processing or rendering, nor uses that have the potential to create obnoxious noise, odor, etc.); and residential uses with 20 acres of land required per residence.
