This category pertains to rural <br /> areas where prevailing activities (agriculture, <br /> forestry) are related to the land in an <br /> appropriate location for the continuation of these <br /> uses.

Lists of AS uses are given in the <br /> General Information Memorandum to the Board of <br /> County Commissioners and the Planning Board of May <br /> 31, 1995, which is attached. <br /> Public Hearing Summary <br /> A joint public hearing was held on the rezoning <br /> request by the Board of County Commissioners and <br /> the Planning Board on Wednesday, May 31, 1995.
