(B) To provide appropriate areas for certain predominately open space uses of land that are not injurious to agricultural/open space uses but which may not be harmonious with urban uses.

(C) To preserve in agricultural use/open space land suited for eventual development into other uses until such time as streets, utilities, and other infrastructure may be provided in order to ensure the orderly conversion of the lands from agriculture to urban use.
