I still don't understand why this can't be written in a manner that clearly and honestly defines what it is about, and leave the rest of us alone.
Generally, the "rules and laws" are intentionally vague and complex. This allows for "selective enforcement" while also making lawyers, courts, and extra government staff necessary for anyone who wants to invoke the laws.
It's not just a County thing; this is how America does business: lots of middlemen and pointless arguments about silly issues that should be completely obvious.
Breeding "fancy game birds" creates quality-of-life issues for those who must live nearby ... but this is also how some people earn their money, are you willing to tell them they can't make a living?
As to the original thread topic: County has two existing "ag-lite" zoning types which restrict agricultural activities. These are RA ("Residential Ag") and FA ("Family Ag"). Both of these require that livestock "pens, hutches, feeders, salt licks" (etc) be more than 75' from any lot line. There is no need to modify the existing zoning; simply allow subdivisions the option of upzoning from A to RA/FA.
