The following zoning districts are hereby established and the purpose or
intended use of each district is stated. Permitted uses in each district
are listed in Article III of this Ordinance.

The A-1 District is established in recognition of the areas
of sparse development customarily occurring in agriculturally
oriented communities. The areas which comprise the majority of
this zoning district contain the principal agricultural
activities and the uses which are customarily associated with or
accessory to the agricultural activities. It is not intended
that high concentration of development be permitted in this
district except as authorized by the Ordinance. Uses which are
not of an agricultural nature may be permitted in this district
as Special Uses providing they comply with the applicable
regulation pertaining to Special Uses as outlined in Section 501
of this Ordinance.

The R-1 District is established to provide areas of general
residential development. Desired development includes
single-family and two-family dwellings. Services, facilities and
uses incidental or accessory to residential development are
included.
Multiple family dwellings and other uses compatible with
residential development including commercial uses may be
permitted providing they comply with the applicable regulations
pertaining to Special Uses as outlined in Section 501 of this
Ordinance.
|
| 201:3 |
The C-1 District is established to provide areas of general
commercial development for uses which are of a retail or
personal services nature. Preferred uses are those which are
intended to serve the regular needs of the surrounding
community. It is also intended that any uses permitted do not
create a nuisance to the surrounding area by the emission of
noise, fumes, smoke, vibrations, odors or other similar
by-products which are not compatible with the general atmosphere
of the total community. It is not intended that residential
development be permitted in this district except as authorized
by this Ordinance.
