Unofficial copy. It may be out of date. Not legal or zoning advice. Zoning rules change, and only the city or county can say for sure what is allowed on a property. Confirm with the city or county planning department before you buy, sign or build.

Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Amalga planning before you rely on it.
The Agricultural Zone, also known as the A-zone, is established to protect and preserve agriculture in Amalga. It provides areas for the growing of crops and the raising of livestock. It is to provide permanent areas for agricultural use and farming activities. Uses normally and necessarily related to agriculture are permitted and uses incompatible to the continuance of agriculture are not allowed. All efforts to protect this zone should be encouraged.
Uses permitted in the A-zone, in addition to agricultural uses, must be incidental thereto and should not change the basic agricultural character of the zone. The A-zone is intended to protect agricultural uses from encroachment of urban development until such time as residential, commercial, or industrial areas become necessary and desirable by the town. This zone is intended to discourage the division of large contiguous sections of farmland into smaller, less viable plots by haphazard, random, and improperly planned development. Conversion of the Agricultural Zone to zones allowing more urban uses should be accomplished only in an orderly and careful manner following the General Plan. Unless listed in this chapter, a use is not allowed in the A-zone.
