The AG District provides for and preserves the agricultural
and rural use of land, while accommodating extremely low-density residential
development generally associated with agricultural uses. This district
is designed to maintain permanent and comprehensive agricultural uses
within the Seward extraterritorial jurisdiction. It recognizes that
major agriculture has industrial aspects and negative effects on nearby
neighborhoods that often create conflicts between agricultural and
residential uses. In addition, land included in the Urban Reserve
in the Comprehensive Plan should be retained in the AG District to
prevent premature or inappropriate development.

Note 1: Front yard setback is measured from property line of
platted lots. For unplatted lots along roads, residential structures
shall be set back sufficiently to allow for future right-of-way dedications.
This setback is typically 75 feet from the center line of the adjacent
road. The Building Official may establish a different setback requirement
based on the specific context of a parcel. The reason for any such
variation shall be documented in writing by the Building Official.

A.Â
Individual waste lagoons. The edge of the highest water level of
a waste lagoon shall be at least 100 feet from the owner's residence,
200 feet from any adjacent owner's residence, 50 feet from a side
or rear lot line, and 100 feet from any public right-of-way or easement.
B.Â
Animal waste holding facilities. All animal waste holding facilities shall meet the current minimum requirements of the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, Title 130, Chapter 10, Livestock Waste Control Facilities. Approval of any such facility shall be subject to the conditional permit use approval process. The facility shall meet at least the minimum setback and separation standards for waste lagoons. The Planning Commission and the City Council shall establish additional setback requirements based on the location of private wells, public water supply, residences, property lines, and public rights-of-way and easements.[1]
