Dane County Farmland Preservation Zoning Certified FPZ Districts (current ordinance) Proposed FPZ Districts (new ordinance) Notes A-1(ex) FP-35 35 acres minimum Agriculture, ag accessory uses Farm residences by CUP, with “substantial income” from farm A-4 FP-1 5 acres minimum (current); 1 acre (new ordinance) No residences allowed A-B FP-B No minimum lot size Agriculture-related uses Dane County Comprehensive Plan supports zoning ordinance amendments that would “…make it easier to establish agricultural service and other industries that promote appropriate, sustainable rural and farm economic development….” A-3 zoned areas would lose farm tax credits, but would not have to pay $1,000/acre conversion fees when rezoning for development.
