A1 – Rural / Agricultural District Purpose

The purpose of the A1—Agricultural

District is to protect the agricultural production resources of the Town

f Ulysses as seen today in viable

agricultural operations and the agricultural heritage of the Town as seen today in the variety of land uses and the openness of agricultural fjelds.

The A1– Rural / Agricultural Zone is primarily intended to

preserve farming, rural character, and agricultural lands in the Town and also to maintain open space and the quality

f life enjoyed by residents in Ulysses. Agriculture is an

important part of the Ulysses economy, providing both direct and indirect jobs benefjts, and it also provides the visual benefjts of open space. This zone prioritizes and preserves viable agriculture in the Town by providing an area where agricultural operations and agricultural-based enterprises are the predominant active land uses established in the zone. The creation of the Rural /Agricultural Zone illustrates the Town’s commitment to farming and agricultural uses as a preferred use in this zone. The Rural / Agricultural Zone shall help protect existing agricultural areas by limiting suburban and urban development, encourages the continuation of agriculture as a viable economic activity and way of life, reduces land use confmicts, protects ecological and natural resources, and preserves open space.

A1 – Rural / Agricultural District Yard and Lot Changes Reduced minimum lot size - Makes it easier for farmers to subdivide a marketable number of smaller house lots, while retaining more working land/open space. Reduced width at street requirement - Allows clustering of house lots to preserve large, intact working land/open space Increased flexibility in lot layout and arrangement - Less requirements for lot depth, width, size and configuration makes it easier to work around natural features and fields.
