CHAPTER 10: AGRICULTURAL-RESIDENTIAL LAND USE ZONES ARTICLE 1: GENERAL PURPOSES 210-01. Purpose The Agricultural-Residential Land Use Zones established in this Chapter are designed to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The Board of Supervisors in establishing these zones finds that these zones, with the uses and regulations provided in this Code, are consistent and compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the Sacramento County General Plan; and are adopted for the following purposes: (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) To establish living areas within the County where development is limited to low density concentrations of one-family dwellings. To limit the number of permitted nonresidential uses so as to promote and encourage a suitable environment for family life on parcels of land larger than generally is provided in residential zones. To protect estate areas against fire, explosions and other hazards, and against offensive noises, odors, glare and other objectionable influences. To provide adequate open space and access of light and air for privacy by controls over the spacing and height of buildings. To permit those religious, educational, recreational and public cultural facilities which serve the needs of the nearby residents and which generally perform their own activities more effectively in a residential environment and which do not create objectionable influences. To promote the most desirable use of land and direction of building development in accord with the General Plan, to promote stability of land development, to conserve the value of land and improvements and to protect the County's tax revenues. To regulate the development of land when not served with both public water supply and public sewerage facilities. To avoid undue concentration of population and overcrowding of land to lessen congestion in the streets. 210-02.
