Purpose. District "I-1" is intended primarily for those manufacturing
industries and related industrial activities in which the production
performance of the manufacturing industries characteristically produces
a finished product from semi-finished materials, but requires little
or no outside material storage. The effect of the production process
upon surrounding areas is normally that of the traffic generated by
the receipt and delivery of goods and materials. Commercial uses in
this district are generally those which serve the convenience of industrial
establishments and their employees. Residential uses are not compatible
with this environment and are not included in order that the district
may be reserved for its intended light industrial purpose.

J.
"R-A" Agricultural District.
1.
Purpose. District "R-A" is intended primarily for use in areas
of the City on the outer edge of the urbanized development. More intense
urban usage is usually premature in this district due to lack of adequate
utility services or transportation systems. It is likely that this
district will be changed to more intense urban zoning districts as
utility services can be feasibly extended and the undeveloped areas
within existing service limits are used up or become in short supply.
Uses within this district are mostly related to farming or semi-urban
functions and are not necessarily compatible with higher density residential
development.
2.
Permitted Uses. The following uses shall be permitted in "R-A"
Districts.
a.
Pastures for grassland and livestock grazing.
b.
Single-family dwellings.
c.
Animal husbandry in conjunction with a single-family dwelling as per Section 405.200:
(1)
Minimum Required Acreage: thirty thousand (30,000)
square feet.
(2)
The slaughter of animals, such as poultry, rabbits,
or beef cattle is permitted only where intended for consumption by
the resident family or to be gifted.
(3)
Animals other than household pets shall not be
kept within a residence, or within one hundred (100) feet of a residence
or within sixty (60) feet of the front property line of the building
site.
(4)
Housing or caging of animals shall be adequate
and sanitary, and subject to all State health requirements for health
and sanitation. All animal food except for hay and straw shall be
stored in rodent-proof containers. Should any "R-A" property rezoned
to another use where animal husbandry is not a permitted use, any
such use therein shall cease within one (1) year from the effective
date of the rezoning.
d.
Public parks, playgrounds, tot lots or play lots.
e.
In-home day cares with five (5) or fewer children.
f.
Religious, educational and social facilities, including museums;
charities; accessory buildings associated with houses of worship;

research services; libraries; schools for primary, secondary, vocational

zoos.
b.

care/child care centers for not more than ten (10) children.
