Proposed Text/Changes <br />farmland and undeveloped/forested land of the County. Public utilities <br />will not be planned for these areas. Consequently, residential <br />uses that support those working and/or owning the land, <br />home occupations allied with existing residences, and very <br />limited business endeavor are envisioned as complementary <br />to the area. In sum, the primary activity of these lands is <br />agricultural -housing and business are typically related to <br />and supportive of the practice of modern day agriculture. It is <br />not, however, improbable that a small hamlet type settlement <br />might evolve in this zoning district. As to those areas <br />constituting open space, manmade uses must take care to <br />enhance and not detract from the essential character of the <br />area. <br />Rationale: Cabarrus County, due largely to its proximity to <br />the Charlotte/Mecklenburg metropolitan area, is in a growth <br />mode which will, in all probability, continue. While the issue <br />of farmland preservation may ultimately be more driven by <br />market economics, it still behooves policy makers to <br />prudently attempt some farmland preservation. Less a matter <br />of market economics is the concept of retaining unspoiled, <br />undeveloped lands for future generations to enjoy. <br />USES IN THE <br />ZONE: <br />Permitted Uses <br />Agriculture excluding livestock <br />Agriculture including livestock <br />Bulls grain storage <br />Cemetery <br />Dairy processing <br />Family care home <br />Group care facility <br />Hatchery <br />Livestock sales <br />Mobile home class I <br />Nursery/ greenhouse <br />Sawmill <br />Single family detached residential <br />Stables, commercial <br />Permitted based on Standards (PBSj <br />Accessory apartment <br />G-3 <br />
