Many "ag subdivisions" are easily mistaken for "residential".
Two partial solutions:
1. Mandatory real estate disclosure, including buyer signing something that says they understand the potential permitted uses of the zoning;
2. Redefine "Ag" so that some uses are not permitted below a certain square footage and/or lot width, for example "if lot is less than 10 acres, one rooster allowed per 100' of width". (Thus, a Fern Acres resident could keep one rooster with their chickens, and no roosters would be allowed in Ainaloa unless someone bought a double lot...)
