This district serves as a transitional district <br />between residential land uses and higher intensity non-residential land uses. <br /> <br />RATIONALE <br />This district is used to provide for low intensity office and institutional uses that can be <br />complementary to adjacent residential land use. This district features employment options and <br />essential services which require a moderate number of average daily trips. These uses will have <br />a minimum impact on the surrounding area because these trips will generally occur during <br />regular church business hours, thus, not competing with residential traffic at peak hours. This <br />district should be located adjacent to residential districts or in areas where its use would serve <br />as a transition between residential land uses and higher intensity non-residential land uses. <br />Higher intensity non-residential land uses may include commercial districts, light industrial or <br />mixed use districts. When bordering residential districts or residential developments, care should <br />be taken to assure natural or manmade buffering and architectural compatibility so that the <br />nonresidential activities are not a nuisance to residential use. <br /> <br />EXISTING DISTRICT: AGRICULTURAL/OPEN SPACE (AO) <br />This district is comprised mostly of lands usually found on the eastern side of the County which, <br />due to physical characteristics such as soil type, topography, etc., should remain agrarian. To a <br />lesser degree, these are also those lands which are conducive to providing recreationally <br />oriented open space. These land areas should remain the farmland and undeveloped/forested <br />land of the County. Public utilities will not be planned for these areas. Consequently, residential <br />uses that support those working and/or owning the land, home occupations allied with existing <br />residences, and very limited business endeavors are envisioned as complementary to the area. <br />In sum, the primary activity of these lands is agricultural - housing and business are typically <br />related to, and supportive of, the practice of modern day agriculture. It is not, however, <br />improbable that a small hamlet type settlement might evolve in this zoning district. As to those <br />areas constituting open space, manmade uses must take care to enhance and not detract from <br />the essential character of the area. <br /> <br /> <br />
