(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.

(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.
