(a)
General. Agricultural zoning districts are generally intended
to accommodate farming, agricultural and traditional rural (principal
and accessory) uses.
(b)
AG-1 Limited Agricultural District. The AG-1 District is primarily
intended to accommodate small-scale, low-intensity farming, agricultural
and traditional rural activities, including the keeping of a limited
number of horses or farm animals.
(c)
AG-2 General Agricultural. The AG-2 District is primarily intended
to accommodate full-scale farming and agricultural uses in areas where
farming is to be encouraged and generally protected from encroachment
by urban uses. The AG-1 District may also be applied in areas to prevent
premature urban development where sewer, water and other infrastructure
and service capacity is inadequate to safely accommodate such development.

Uses are allowed in AG Districts in accordance with the use
regulations of Division 90-310.

See Division 90-340.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Buildings and uses in AG Districts are subject to all other
applicable regulations of this zoning chapter, including the following:
(a)
Accessory uses and structures. See Division 90-330.
(b)
Parking. See Division 90-420.
(c)
Landscape and screening. See Division 90-430.

(f)
Water service. Properties in AG Districts are exempt from the municipal water service provisions of § 90-410.20.
(g)
Building on vacant platted lots. Vacant lots that were platted and recorded before the effective date specified in § 90-10.30 may built upon in the AG District to accommodate a residential dwelling unit that is accessory to an agricultural use. Such lots may be built upon to accommodate a residential dwelling unit that is not accessory to an agricultural use only if all of the criteria are met:
(1)
The lot cannot be returned to agricultural use by virtue of
damage done to the land as part of subdividing, or its remote accessibility
to farming as a result of surrounding roads and housing;
(2)
The soils are suitable for on-site sewage disposal, as verified
by the issuance of necessary Village and other required permits for
such use; and
(3)
Information regarding Subsection (g)(1) and (2) of this section
is presented to the Plan Commission for review, and the Plan Commission
determines that the criteria are satisfied, and that there are no
other reasons why the subject lot should not be built upon, including
the widening or extending of highways, etc. The Plan Commission must
indicate in its decision which district lot and building regulations
should be applied to the allowed construction.
