ORDINANCE NO. 2001- 006 Page 58; Development Opportunities section of the Land Use Analysis Agricultural Planned Developments An Agricultural Planned Development (PD) is a type of development which is optional on agriculturally designated land located outside of the urban service area. Agricultural PDs permit the normally allowable residential density on agriculturally designated land to be clustered into a small area of the project, on building lots no greater than 1 acre in size. The remainder of the project area is preserved as agricultural, conservation, and/or recreational open space. With this type of development, farm lands, natural areas, and open space can be preserved in large, contiguous areas in a manner that preserves agricultural character and functionality. During the 1990 to 1999 time period, the county approved 10 agricultural PDs. Because such developments preserve open space, agricultural uses and the rural character of certain areas of the county, the county should take actions to encourage agricultural PDs. Such actions could include amending the county's land development regulations to streamline the Agricultural PD process, while continuing to ensure the clustering of lots and the preservation of large areas of agricultural or recreational open space.
