Within the AgP-1 district, farm-relat~l service establishments are permitted by conditional use permit. The intention is to keep large food processing operations, storage elevators, and the like, in existing towns or their outskirts, and to exclude these uses from productive agricultural land. Churches, parks, public buildings and utility structures are permitted by conditional use permit. The conditions that must be met before a conditional use permit will be issued include a finding of compatibility with agriculture, proper road access, site fencing and screening, and lot size. Section 5 establishes an agricultural preservation-urban expansion district, abbreviated as AgP-2, This district is intended for use in areas planned for short-term agriculture, Its purpose is to preserve and protect the current agricultural use of the land until it is ready for orderly conversion to urban uses, particularly as residential subdivisions served by central sewers. All farm uses and farm-related structures, except feedlots and poultry operations, are permitted in this district. Feedlots and poultry operations are excluded because of their potential ]ncompatibility w[th future urban uses. Any ex]stlng feedlot or poultry operation would be treated as a non-conforming use under the provisions of the ex[st[ng zoning code. The conditional uses described above for the AgP-1 district are also conditional uses in this district, In addition, single-family dwelling subdivisions are permitted by conditional use permit in the AgP-2 district. The issuance of the permit is conditioned on finding that: (1} a central sewer and water system is provided to the subdivision, (2) the sewer and water systems meet county and state health department regulations and are extended in accordance with a comprehensive sewer plan adopted by the local governmental unit and approved by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission,
