SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING
LOT LIMITATIONS IN AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICTS

The Board of Supervisors has scheduled a special public hearing to receive comment regarding a proposed ordinance that would limit the number of divisions of real property in Agricultural A-1 and A-2 zoning districts.

The hearing will be February 15, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors meeting room, Southampton County Office Center, 26022 Administration Center Drive, Courtland.

The intent of the proposed ordinance is to minimize ongoing residential development in rural areas for the next 12 months, while other measures are studied. If adopted, no more than 2 lots could be divided from any parent parcel in agricultural zoning districts, as the parent parcel exists on the date of adoption.
