A-1 Agricultural District - Tracts of land in excess of 40 acres. The intent and purpose of this district is to preserve areas where soils and topographic conditions are best suited for the pursuit of agriculture use from encroachment of scattered urban type uses. This district is intended to ensure that land areas within Pike Township which are well suited for the production of food and fiber are retained for such production, unimpeded by the establishment of incomparable uses which would hinder agricultural uses and inevitably deplete agricultural lands. The agricultural district is also established to prevent the conversion of prime agricultural land in scattered non-farm development which when unregulated, unnecessarily increases the cost of public services to all citizens and results in the premature disinvestment in agriculture.
