Purpose and Intent: The Agricultural District is intended to allow traditional agricultural <br /> uses and to conserve resources while allowing low density residential development <br /> compatible with agricultural uses. <br /> 2. Lot, Use and Density Requirements. <br /> Lot Width-feet,minimum...............................................500 <br /> Total Lot Area-acres, minimum........................................20 <br /> Section 5.5 of the Ordinance states the requirements for the Agriculture Zone <br /> 1. Purpose and Intent: To provide a zoning classification for the preservation of family <br /> farms and small-scale agricultural uses and to allow for low density residential <br /> development compatible with those uses. Development patterns are characterized as <br /> very low-density residential without municipal utility service and with only limited <br /> demand for accessibility. Agriculture zoning should be used to preserve rural character. <br /> 2. Compatibility: Agriculture zones would generally be compatible with and can be <br /> established next to Forest Management, Rural Residential, Transition Residential, <br /> Commercial and Light Industrial zones. <br /> 3. Lot, Use and Density Requirements. <br /> Lot Width-feet,minimum...............................................500 <br /> Total Lot Area-acres, minimum........................................20 <br /> Section 5.7 of the Ordinance states the requirements for the Transition <br /> Residential Zone <br /> 1. Purpose and Intent: To provide a residential zoning classification that serves as a <br /> medium-density buffer between areas of higher-density and areas of lower-density. The <br /> Transitional Residential zone may be utilized in some second-tier shoreland areas <br /> and/or on the edge of the municipal utility service area. The zone may or may not be <br /> served by municipal sewer and water but must be within the projected utility service <br /> area. Development in this zone should facilitate future utility extensions. <br /> 2. Compatibility: The Transitional Residential zone is compatible with and may be <br /> established next to the Shoreline Residential, Urban Residential, Downtown Mixed-Use, <br /> Commercial and Light Industrial Zones. The Transitional Residential zone may be <br /> established next to the Rural Residential, Agriculture or Forest Management zones so <br /> long as these zones do not surround the Transitional Residential zone. The Transitional <br /> Residential zone should not be established where the zones surrounding it all have <br /> similar density characteristics. <br /> 3. Lot, Use and Density Requirements. <br /> Lot Width-feet,minimum...........................................................200 <br /> Buildable Lot Area-acres, minimum................................................5 <br /> Rural Conservation Density.....................................................................2 units/acre <br /> Planned Unit Development Maximum Density......................................2 units/acre <br /> Staff Findings: The Staff provides the following findings for the Planning Commission's <br /> consideration: <br /> 1. The rezoning to Transition Residential is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan <br /> and Future Land Use Map,which designates this property as Urban/Rural Transition. <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7_2 <br /> September 15,2005 <br />
