The complete text of both documents appears in the legal notices section of this newspaper. The marginal land, totaling roughly 20,000 acres and located on either side of the core of more than 200,000 acres of fields, has been designated RA-- (residential A-- l. 1 agricultural).

However, the planner and zoner said, some real estate agents had opposed the plan. One- - and dwellings will continue to be allowed on the A-- l land, which stretches from Utah the County line on the north to the Levan area. The homesites must still meet county acreage minimums. However, the use ordinance reads, residential subdivisions shall not be permitted in the A-- l agricultural zone. Some other permitted uses of A-- l land include, besides the obvious farming uses, the establishment of cemeteries, golf courses, two-famil- railroads, stadiums, mental and penal institutions, and oil wells. The ordinance also provides for other similar uses ruled by the Board of County Commissioners after recommendations by the planning commission to be in harmony with the objectives and characteristics of this zone.
