California Zoningspeak

We quote the following passage from a Los Angeles Times editorial, Barlow Hospital’s Overreach, L.A. Times, April 14, 2013, at p. A21, referring to land that is zoned agricultural:

“That means a community center, a golf course, a park or the least dense kind of housing — a single house per 2 1/2-acre lot — could be built there.”

And here we thought that “agricultural” means growing patooties, raising piggies and stuff like that. Live and learn.
