Protecting all zoning districts, but especially residential
districts against heavy and undue vehicular traffic.
6.
Providing freedom of architectural design in order to encourage
the development of more attractive and economic building forms.

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.
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.

Religious, educational and social facilities, including museums;
charities; accessory buildings associated with houses of worship;
colleges and universities (public and private); educational and scientific
research services; libraries; schools for primary, secondary, vocational
and higher education.

campgrounds, golf courses and driving ranges, riding stables, and
