Development Outside <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong><br />
For Goochl<strong>and</strong> County, rural preservation has been <strong>and</strong> is intended to be the<br />
major l<strong>and</strong> use emphasis outside <strong>of</strong> the villages. In an attempt to limit sprawling<br />
development in the County, development is intended to occur at a minimum in<br />
the conservation areas, which surround the Goochl<strong>and</strong> <strong>Courthouse</strong> <strong>Village</strong>.<br />
Emphasis is to be placed on preservation <strong>of</strong> valuable agricultural areas to protect<br />
these areas from undesirable development. It is not in the best interest <strong>of</strong><br />
Goochl<strong>and</strong> County <strong>for</strong> agricultural l<strong>and</strong> areas to continue to decline as a<br />
percentage <strong>of</strong> total l<strong>and</strong> area as has been the case in the recent past. Prime<br />
agricultural l<strong>and</strong> is valuable as a natural resource <strong>and</strong> is important <strong>for</strong> stabilizing<br />
the local economy (Goochl<strong>and</strong>, 2003).<br />
Goal 3: Development outside <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong> boundary remains<br />
predominantly rural in use<br />
Objective 3.1: L<strong>and</strong> use will be limited to permit agriculture, horticulture, <strong>for</strong>estry<br />
<strong>and</strong> large-lot, low-density, single-family residential usage<br />
Implementation<br />
Goochl<strong>and</strong> County <strong>Plan</strong>ning staff should petition the <strong>Plan</strong>ning Commission to<br />
ensure that zoning outside <strong>of</strong> designated <strong>Village</strong>s continues to preclude intensive<br />
uses <strong>and</strong> continues to allow <strong>for</strong> agriculture (A-1, A-2, A-3), <strong>for</strong>estall conservation<br />
(F-C) <strong>and</strong> low density residential development (R-R, R-P)<br />
