[1975 Code § 21.08]
This district is composed of land being used for agricultural
activities and other such open land uses and located near the periphery
of the jurisdictional boundary which is not expected to develop in
intensive urban uses within the near future. It is the intent of this
district to allow open type uses, to conserve the desirable characteristics
of land, to prevent conflicts between agricultural and nonagricultural
land uses and to act as a holding zone for land not immediately necessary
for orderly urban development. Orderly growth can thus be attained
by subsequent reclassification of areas in this district to other
classifications, in accordance with the City's capital improvements
program for the extension of basic utilities, streets and county utilities
to attain desired urban development.
