" Moreover, the current landowners have no intention to develop the project and extensive infrastructure improvements originally envisioned by KDC and required under the existing ordinances, as is evidenced by the encumbrance of more than 75% of the property in perpetual conservation easements which severely limit the development potential of those lands. While the zoning was never technically effectuated, the subject ordinances still govern activities that can occur within the project area, limiting the landowners' ability to utilize their lands as permitted under the original A-20a zoning in the remaining lands unencumbered by conservation easements. The landowners wish to be free of the subject ordinances to allow them the ability to pursue permissible uses under the original A-20a zoning on those remaining lands that are unencumbered by the conservation easements and be afforded the same rights and privileges of landowners with existing agricultural zoning without rezoning conditions. 3.
