Chapter 17.22 — AGRICULTURAL AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS

§ 17.22.010. Purpose and Intent. ¶

The purpose of this chapter is to create and preserve areas of the City for agricultural production, for passive and active open space uses, and for the protection of natural resources. Furthermore, this chapter identifies areas that could be hazardous because of geologic conditions. (Prior code 17.08.010; Ord. 40-74; Ord. 12-95)

§ 17.22.020. Districts Established. ¶

Three agricultural/open space districts are established by this chapter as follows:

A. Agricultural (A1). This district allows for a variety of agricultural uses, as well as low intensity recreational and open space uses.
B. Recreational Open Space (RO). The purpose of this district is to protect properties from hazards such as flooding and landsliding, to protect natural resources and scenic features for public enjoyment and use, and to set aside areas of the City for active and passive recreational use, consistent with general plan policy.
C. Slope Hazard (SH). This district is intended to protect properties from naturally occurring hazards such as landsliding, faulting, erosion, and other earth movement. Toward this end, no structures are permitted within this district except public utility buildings and structures subject to approval of a conditional use permit as identified in Table 17.13.030 [[1]] . [1] Editor's Note: Table 17.13.030 is included as an attachment to this Title .
