ZONING:
A – Agricultural – According to the Carroll County Zoning Code “The purpose of the A District is to provide for continued farming activities, conserve agricultural land, and reaffirm agricultural use, activities, and operations as the preferred dominant use of the land within the district, except in an area designated MR within the MRO where mineral resource recovery is also a preferred use. While relatively small existing hamlets, villages, and residential communities appear within, as do occasional dwellings, and other uses, the district is primarily composed of lands which, by virtue of their highly productive soils, rolling topography, and natural beauty, are the very essence of the county’s farming heritage and character. A substantial portion of the residential development in the county has previously taken place in the A District. This has the effect of taking agricultural land out of production and creating a demand for public facilities and services (roads, water and sewerage, schools, and police and fire protection) in areas where provision for such additional services and facilities is not consistent with the purpose of the A District. The intent of this section is to recognize the need for and appropriateness of very limited residential development in the A District, but to prohibit residential development of a more extensive nature. It is the further purpose of this district to maintain and promote the open character of this land as well as to promote the continuance and viability of the farming and agribusiness uses.”
