I liked the AG designation until our new neighbor moved in with his roosters. Not one or two to keep his hens happy, but an acre of roosters lined out with A frames every 10 feet. Haven't had an uninterrupted night's sleep since, they go off at all hours and then they wake every dog in the neighborhood up too. It is one thing to intellectually know someone could move in with roosters and it is a whole other thing when it happens.
Some people really do farm in these subdivision, and not just roosters. Orchids and other flowers, nursery stock, poultry of all kinds, and mixed produce farms are all pretty common here in HPP, but they are a pretty small overall percentage of the occupied lots. People who want to do ag would need to be accommodated by any changes in the zoning, at least on the one acre lots, the 8,000-12,000 sq ft lots are a whole other matter, even in Hawaii it is pretty hard to "farm" on a lot that size, garden maybe, but not farm.
