Agricultural Zoning Protection
Jackson's Zoning Ordinance does not create a right-to-farm shield; it treats farming as a permitted use confined to its lowest-density residential districts. The R-1E Single-Family Estate Residential District allows agricultural uses outright but caps 'dairying, animal husbandry, or stabling' at two animals per acre and requires a veterinarian's notarized health letter for each animal. The SR Suburban Rural Residential District, per Section 602.13.1, adopts every R-1E permitted use, including that agricultural allowance.
