A-1 Agricultural District Parkland, Florida

A-1 is Parkland's agricultural district, applied where future development is uncertain and a more restrictive use would be premature. It permits farming, nursery/garden, grove and livestock-grazing uses and wayside farm stands, while civic, day care, veterinary, parks and utility uses require a special exception; the single-family residence is treated as accessory with its outbuildings.
