808.2.010 – Purpose of Individual Agricultural Zones¶
The purposes of the individual agricultural zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows.
A. AE (Exclusive Agricultural) Zone.
The AE zone is intended to protect agricultural land and provide for those uses which are necessary and an integral part of an agricultural operation. This zone is intended to protect the general welfare of the agricultural community from encroachments of non-related agricultural uses.
The AE zone shall be accompanied by an acreage designation which establishes the minimum size of parcels that may be created within the zone, including designations of 640, 320, 160, 80, 40, and 20 acres. The AE zone is consistent with the Agriculture, Irrigated Agriculture, and Westside/Eastside Rangeland land use designations of the General Plan.
See Section 806.2.030.C for Obsolete and Deleted Zones regarding AE-5.
B. AL (Limited Agricultural) Zone.
The AL zone is intended to protect the general welfare of the agricultural community by limiting intensive uses in agricultural areas which may be incompatible with other less intensive agricultural operations.
The AL zone shall be accompanied by an acreage designation which establishes the minimum size of parcels that may be created within the zone, including designations of 640, 320, 160, 80, 40, and 20 acres. The AL zone is consistent with the Agriculture and Irrigated Agriculture land use designations of the General Plan. See Section 806.2.030.C for Obsolete and Deleted Zones.
C. A-1 (Agricultural) Zone. The A-1 zone is intended to provide for the development of those unincorporated parcels in the County which are not included in other zones. The A-1 zone is consistent with variable land use designations of the General Plan. See Section 806.2.030.C for Obsolete and deleted Zones.
D. A-2 (General Agricultural) Zone. The A-2 zone is intended to protect those parcels requiring more protection than the A-1 zone provides, which do not by their nature require an exclusive or limited agricultural zoning. The A-2 zone is consistent with variable land use designations of the General Plan. See Section 806.2.030.C for Obsolete and deleted Zones.

B. Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a “blank” means that the listed land use is prohibited in that specific zone. Excludes unclassified uses.
