CHAPTER 17#

10 - AGRICULTURAL-10 AG-10 AND AGRICULTURAL-20 AG-20 ZONES#

17.10.100 - Purposes.#

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 open-space/agricultural land use designation of the Paradise General Plan.
