Farm dwellings on agricultural lots and site development plans

Three to six farm dwellings may be placed on a single zoning lot in an agricultural district; provided that an agricultural site development plan for the lot is approved by the director. (a) Any agricultural zoning lot that has at least twice the required minimum lot size for the underlying agricultural zoning district may have two farm dwellings. If the applicant proposes to construct additional farm dwellings under § 21-5.50-3 (c), relating to ohana units, the zoning lot must be subdivided. (b) The agricultural site development plan must be in accordance with the requirements of the preliminary subdivision map as stated in the subdivision rules. (c) Prior to granting approval, the director shall determine that: (1) The agricultural site development plan would qualify for approval under the subdivision rules if submitted as a subdivision application; and roadways, utilities, and other improvements comply with the subdivision rules and subdivision standards, unless modified by the director under applicable provisions specified in the subdivision rules; (2) The number of farm dwellings contained in each structure is not greater than permitted in the underlying zoning district; and (3) Except where otherwise provided in this article, each existing and future farm dwelling must be located as if the zoning lot were subdivided in accordance with the agricultural site development plan, applicable provisions of this article, and the subdivision rules. (d) This section does not apply to applications for more than six farm dwellings on a zoning lot, which must be processed under the established procedures for cluster housing, planned development housing, or subdivision.
