Zones where growing crops (agriculture) can go
Cypress's code calls this use “Agriculture/Horticulture Cultivation”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| RS-15000 | Allowed | § 2.05.030 |
| BP | Allowed | § 2.07.030 |
| ML | Allowed | § 2.07.030 |
| PS-1A | Allowed | § 2.08.030 |
| PBP-25A | Allowed | § 2.08.030 |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- S5 uses the wider row name 'Agriculture and Horticulture (Cultivation and Sales)'; 'Agriculture/Horticulture Sales' in S3 is '—' in all residential zones. Blank RS-6000 and RS-5000 cells: S1 C says a use 'not shown in a particular zoning district' is not allowed, but I kept them out because the blank may be a table-conversion loss.
- Not covered here: Table 2-18 (listed in S1 but its text is not in the packet; likely open-space or other districts); Definitions of 'Large' care homes, 'Farm Animal', 'Stables' (Chapter 1 definitions not in packet); Accessory dwelling unit and other overlays not relevant. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
