Purpose of the AR (Agricultural--Residential) Zones
San Diego Municipal Code § 131.0303
in effect§131.0303 Purpose of the AR (Agricultural--Residential) Zones
(a) The purpose of the AR zones is to accommodate a wide range of agricultural uses while also permitting the development of single dwelling unit homes at a very low density. The agricultural uses are limited to those of low intensity to minimize the potential conflicts with residential uses. This zone is applied to lands that are in agricultural use or that are undeveloped and not appropriate for more intense zoning. Residential development opportunities are permitted with a Planned Development Permit at various densities that will preserve land for open space or future development at urban intensities when and where appropriate.
(b) The AR zones are differentiated based on the minimum lot size as follows:
• AR-1-1 requires minimum 10-acre lots • AR-1-2 requires minimum 1-acre lots
