The Wayne County Zoning Districts are provided and achieve the following purposes:
1) The Agricultural District (A) is provided to recognize and preserve lands suited for farming and the production of food and fiber and to maintain and protect these areas from the encroachment of incompatible uses.
2) The purposes of the Residential Agriculture District (RA) are to provide single-family housing choices to meet the needs of Wayne County residents and to provide safe and convenient places to live. This district is intended to allow for the establishment of residential uses free from any activity or use that may weaken the residential integrity of these areas. Generally the Residential Agriculture District (RA) will be located where adequate public services and facilities are available to meet the needs of residents.
3) The purpose of the Business – Commercial (BC) District is to provide areas for the location of various types of commercial activities required to serve the residents and visitors of the County. The development standards provided for this District are intended to minimize any adverse effect of commercial uses on adjoining areas by achieving the compatible integration of land uses and preserving the aesthetic qualities of the area, while providing safe, convenient, and efficient commercial uses.
4) The Resort and Recreation (RR) District is provided to allow the establishment of uses that will enhance the economic well-being of the County and provide opportunities for tourism and visitor activities, recreation, and employment. The RR District is intended to provide destination amenities and activities for visitors including active and passive recreational pursuits which may include on-site and off-site activities, overnight lodging, equipment rentals, entertainment and other conveniences for visitors and necessary to support tourism activities and opportunities.
5) The Industrial District (I) provides suitable areas to accommodate the needs of the County for a variety of industrial uses including manufacturing, warehousing, and associated accessory uses. The Industrial District (I) allows appropriate industrial uses to strengthen the employment base and economic diversity of the County.
6) The Special Purpose (SP) District is provided to allow the establishment of uses that will enhance the economic well-being of the County and provide opportunities for employment but which may create use incompatibilities if such uses were allowed within the other Districts provided by the County.
