Zoning District Overview Zoning is the City's primary tool for implementing planning policies. Zoning consists of an official map that divides the community into a series of zoning districts and includes supporting ordinance text that describes the regulations for the use of the land within these districts including the permitted uses, lot sizes, setbacks, density standards, design standards, etc. Long -Term Agricultural District The purpose of the Long -Term Agricultural district (LA) is to allow agricultural property to be included in the State of Minnesota's Agricultural Preserve Program. This area may be used for permitted agricultural activities and single family farmsteads at a density of 1 unit per 40 acres. The minimum lot size in the LA district and for inclusion in the Agricultural Preserve Program is 40 acres. This area is not intended for urban densities or services. Agricultural District The purpose of the Agricultural district (AG) is to provide an area for the use of land for commercial agriculture purposes. Single family detached homes served by private well and septic systems at a density of 1 unit per 10 acres are also permitted. This area is not intended for urban densities or services. The minimum lot size in the AG district is 10 acres.
