Editor's Note: The Residential/Agricultural
Setbacks Diagram is on file in the City offices.
The regulations for the agricultural zoning
districts are designed to protect undeveloped areas from intensive
uses until a use pattern is approved.
A.
A-1 Rural Agricultural District. The A-1 District
is intended to provide an area primarily for agricultural uses or
extraction of the various products such as oil, minerals, rock and
gravel from the earth and/or to prevent such land from being prematurely
developed for urban purposes. The rural nature and low density of
population in this district require only that buildings and facilities
related to the uses of this district have a reasonable setback from
streets and highways. It is the purpose of this district to protect
such agricultural or extractive uses from unplanned urbanization so
long as the land is not programmed for essential municipal services.
B.
A-2 Suburban Agricultural District. The A-2 District
is intended to provide for very low density urbanization where partial
urban services are provided by the municipality and health and safety
standards may be otherwise ensured by the individual on large lots.
It is anticipated that the tracts in this district will be in close
proximity to residential and commercial uses and be adequately served
by police and fire protection, solid waste collection, public water
and sanitary waste disposal meeting Oklahoma State Health Department
and local requirements. It is not intended that this district provide
a location for a lower standard of residential or other development
than is authorized in other districts.
The permitted uses in the agricultural districts are set forth in the table below. Where the letter "X" appears on the line of a permitted use and in the column of a district, the listed use is permitted in that district, subject to the general provisions of this chapter as set forth in the preceding sections. Where the letter "P" appears instead of the letter "X," this use is permitted subject to acquiring a conditional use permit as set forth in Article XXII.
