The large-lot estate classification is a floating zone which allows for a low density rural agricultural atmosphere. It is intended to provide areas for single-family development in a rural or ranch-like setting or where topography and/or utility capacities limit the use of the land. Provisions are made for the limited agriculture pursuits as well as those uses necessary and incidental to single-family living. Accessory dwelling units are permitted to be constructed, after site-plan review, for use by family members. (Ord. 944 § 4 (part), 1996).

The city shall allow the following uses in concert with the limits set forth in Section 6.04.160 to occur on parcels of property that are one hundred thirty thousand six hundred eighty square feet (three acres) or greater:
A. Agricultural practices (forestry, hay fields, animal pasturing and grazing and other uses common to agricultural practices), including the keeping of livestock as set forth in Section 6.04.160(A), (B) and (C);
B. Keeping and storage of vehicles common to agricultural practices;
C. Repair, storage and parking of individually owned and/or operated log trucks and trailers and other such large vehicles common to agriculture and forestry activities;
D. Accessory dwelling units shall be allowed as an incidental residential use building on the same lot as the main dwelling unit subject to the following:
1. All lots proposing an accessory dwelling unit shall submit a site plan according to the procedures set forth in Chapter 17.23, clearly illustrating the location of the main or principal dwelling unit and the location of the accessory or secondary dwelling unit. The distances between the accessory dwelling unit and the principal dwelling unit shall be clearly illustrated on the site plan.
2. No temporary buildings, mobile homes, or travel trailers may be used for an on-site dwelling purpose.
3. The accessory dwelling unit must be constructed to the rear of the main dwelling and at least twenty-five feet from the rear property line and fifty feet from any side property line, on separate utilities and meters from the principal dwelling unit.
4. Only one accessory dwelling unit per lot shall be permitted;
E. All uses permitted to the underlying zone.
(Ord. 944 § 4 (part), 1996).

The following uses and any other uses not expressly permitted are prohibited:
A. Commercial operation and maintenance of slaughterhouses, hog and poultry farms, fertilizer works, bone yards, rendering plants or any plant operated for the reduction of animal matter or any post harvest processing of agriculture products;

Building height limitations for buildings constructed on a large-lot estate shall be the same as applied in Section 17.20.080. However, one nonresidential building or structure, not to exceed thirty-five feet in height, may be constructed on the lot, subject to planning commission site-plan approval. (Ord. 944 § 4 (part), 1996).

Each large lot estate shall provide a fifty-foot noise and site-obscuring buffer zone between the large lot estate’s activities and the nearest property line of any adjoining lot. (Ord. 944 § 4 (part), 1996).
