Chapter 17.10 — AGRICULTURAL-10 (AG-10) AND AGRICULTURAL-20 (AG-20) ZONES

The agricultural-10/20 (AG-10, AG-20) zones are intended for land areas planned and deemed suitable to remain in their natural, primarily undeveloped state or to be used for open space and agricultural purposes. Such land areas can also be deemed inappropriate for urban development due to steep slopes, a significant lack of public services, and a substantial desire to retain existing agricultural or open space characteristics. The agricultural-10 and agricultural-20 zones are consistent with the openspace/agricultural land use designation of the Paradise General Plan.

In the agricultural-10/20 zones, the following land uses are permitted where indicated by the letter "P"; and are uses permitted subject to town issuance of a conditional use permit where indicated by the letter "C."

Uses identified with the letter "A" are permitted land uses upon town approval and issuance of an administrative permit.
