Zones where growing crops (agriculture) can go
Carson's code calls this use “Cultivation of plants including nursery, orchard, vineyard, field crops, flowers, greenhouses, lathhouses (no mushroom farm)”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| RA | Allowed | Division 1 — Uses Permitted |
| CG | Allowed | Division 1 — Uses Permitted |
| OS | Allowed | Division 1 — Uses Permitted |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- Residential and open space rows say 'no retail sales'; the commercial row (CG) says 'Cultivation and/or sale of plants'. OS: 'Greenhouse, lathhouse' is a separate row (C). Industrial: earthworm, mushroom farms only.
- Not covered here: Zone names are not stated in the packet; overlay districts (MUR, ORL, EMS) and the Open Space 'Special Use' column have no table of their own for these uses. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
