Purpose of the AR (Agricultural--Residential) Zones
San Diego Municipal Code § 131.0303
in effect(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.
