From the maps I have now, there exist Family Agricultural (FA-1a) of one acre and Residential Agricultural (RA-.5a) zones. These may be related to what you are proposing. I have an email to Larry Brown asking for the definitions of these zones.
I must say that from the growth management POV I have been looking with most interest at the various Residential zonings on the maps. My male intuition (or something) tells me that Residential designations (smaller lots, more restrictions, only slightly greater taxes) would tend to fuel more growth compared with purely Ag definitions. Not that Ag zones, as you point out, can't be abused. I have some good examples of the latter from Maui.
