24-14—Development Standards for Agriculture Zones
24-12 Purpose of the Agriculture Zones
A. Agriculture (AG). The purpose of the AG zone is to support, protect, and maintain a viable, long-
term agricultural sector in Butte County. Standards for the AG zone maintain the vitality?of the agricul-
tural sector by retaining parcel sizes necessary to sustain viable agricultural operations, protecting agri-
cultural practices and activities by minimizing land-use conflicts, and protecting agricultural resources
by regulating land uses and developinent intensities in agrictiltLiral areas. Permitted uses include crop
cultivation, amoral grazing, stock ponds, and agricultural processing. More intensive agricultural activi-
ties, such as animal processing, dairies, hog farms, stables, forestry and logging, and mining and oil ex-
traction, are permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. One single-family home and one
second unit is Permitted on each legally established parcel within the AG zone, and residential uses for
agricultural employees are permitted IIS all accessory use within the AG zone, 'rhe minurium permitted
parcel size in the AG zone ranges from 20 acres to 160 acres. The AG zone implements the Agricul-
ture land use designation in the General Plan.
B. Agriculture Services (AS). The Purpose of the AS zone is to protect,maintain,promote,and enhance
agriculture as a viable, long-term economic sector by acconuriodating agricultural uses or compatible
commercial and light industrial uses that directly support agricultural activities within the county.
Standards for tl-tc AS zone are intended to allow inost agricultural uses allowed in the A(,; zone while
,encouraging new, compatible support industries and operations, and to protect agricultural and other
neighboring land uses by minimizing conflicts. Agricultural support uses permitted as-of-right in the
AS zone include uses with ininit-nal potential impacts on adjacent parcels, such as agricultural equipment
sales and rental, light manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution and storage. Agricultural support
uses that are more likely to impact adjacent parcels, such as agricultural vehicle repair and heavier man-
tifiacturing, require the approval of a Conditional Use permit. Residential uses are not permitted in the
AS zone, except caretaker quarters as an accessory use, which requires an Administrative Use Permit.
The maximum permitted floor area ratio in the AS zone is O.S. The AS zone implements the Agricul-
ture Services land use designation in the General Plan.

cial uses with little potential to create noise, odor, vibration, or other similar impacts to adjacent uses
and surrounding areas. Permitted uses in the III zone include construction,maintenance and repair ser-
vices; equipment sales and rentals; vehicle repair, service and maintenance; research and development;

isting and future employment-generating businesses, including both traditional businesses and innova-
Eve green technology enterprises. In addition to the uses perfilitted in the M zone, the GI zone also
