Sec. 50-34Permitted uses
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter does two things. It adopts the state health rules for restaurants, motels, septic systems, drinking water and public pools by reference. It also sets up a 1,500-foot protection zone around each city water well, where things that could pollute the water, like septic tanks, fuel tanks and landfills, aren't allowed.
The following uses shall be permitted within wellhead protection zones:
(1) Any use permitted within existing agricultural or single-family residential districts, except that the minimum residential lot size for a lot any portion of which lies within the wellhead protection zone shall not be less than one acre; and
(2) Any other open land use where any building located on the property is incidental and accessory to the primary open land use.
