Agricultural
Protective Zoning is a form of local government land use control. Zoning ordinances segment counties, cities, and towns into areas devoted to specific land uses and establish standards and densities for development. Agricultural protective zoning (APZ) ordinances stabilize the agricultural land base. They designate areas where farming is the primary land use and discourage other land uses in those areas. APZ ordinances also restrict the density of residential development in agricultural zones. Maximum densities range from one house per 20 acres in the northeast to one house per 640 acres in the west. In most states, APZ is implemented at the county level, although towns may also have APZ ordinances.
