Base zoning for the Vineyard <br />District shall retain all existing parcel size regulations as of January 1, 1991 which normally set a 100 <br />acre minimum, and shall permit agricultural uses that are compatible with the promotion of the area <br />as a Wine Region.

Homesites are limited to two acres per 40 acres of land within the Planned Development; <br /> <br /> C. Structures within the Planned Development District conform with design guidelines to be <br /> established by the County for this District.
