Agricultural Zoning Protection

Fountain's large lot agricultural/residential (LLR) and residential agricultural (RA) districts let landowners farm crops and keep livestock by right, not as a conditional use. Both districts list agricultural activities and keeping of animals as permitted principal uses alongside a single-family home, with density and lot-size rules built around preserving Fountain's rural edge.
