A. Agricultural District (A G/UlJ!!)
1. Purpose: There exists in parts of the City, laadLand within Wylie which is presently used for

outdoors within the Agricultural District. It is anticipated that lands currently zoned and used for
agricultural purposes will eventually be used for more urban purposes as the City develops. Newly
annexed areas that are predominantly used for agricultural purposes maywill be zoned as an
agricultural district until other zoning is required. Agrictllrnml districts outside of the
Comprehensive Master Plan's designated village centers would be expected to be rezoned to a
country residential district in the future.
2. Permitted Uses: See Use Chart in Article 5, Section 5.1.
