Agricultural Project District: Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Division 5 (Agricultural <br /> Project Districts (APD), Section 25-6-50 (Purpose and applicability) states, "The <br /> agricultural project district (APD) development is intended to provide a flexible and <br /> creative planning approach for developments within the agricultural zoning districts, in <br /> lieu of specific land use designations. It will allow for flexibility in the location of <br /> specific types of agricultural uses and variations in lot sizes. Under this planning <br /> approach, opportunities will be provided for a mix of small scale agricultural activities <br /> and associated residential uses, as well as larger agricultural projecu. This district will <br /> also provide a vehicle to satisfy the demand for a rural lifestyle on mazginal <br /> agricultural land, while decreasing the pressure to develop important agricultural land <br /> for this purpose. The planning approach would establish a continuity in land uses and <br /> designs, while providing for the needed infrastructural facilities and systems to support <br /> the vazious types of agricultural developments. An agricultural project district is an <br /> amendment to this chapter which changes the district boundaries in accordance with the <br /> individual agricultural project district." <br /> 11. Section 25-6-51 (Criteria for establishing a project district) states, "An agricultural <br /> project district may be established as an amendment to this chapter whenever the public <br /> necessity and convenience and the general welfare require that a comprehensive <br /> planning approach for an agricultural area should be adopted in order to establish a <br /> continuity in land uses while providing the required infrastructural facilities and <br /> systems. In addition, an agricultural project district may only be established if the <br /> proposed district: <br /> (1) Is consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter and the County general <br /> plan; and <br /> (2) Will not result in a substantial adverse impact upon the surrounding area, <br /> community or region." <br /> -4- <br /> <br />
