The Pierce County Council finds that: (1) commercially viable agricultural land exists within the County, and (2) it is in the public interest to enhance and encourage agricultural operations within the County. The Council also finds that residential and commercial development adjacent to agricultural property and agricultural operations may lead to restrictions on agriculture and agricultural operations to the detriment of the other agricultural uses, and cause diminished economic viability of agricultural industry in the County.

The purpose of this Chapter is to promote public health, safety, and welfare, and to support and encourage continued agricultural operations in the County. This Chapter is not intended to modify or abridge State nuisance laws, but is to be used in the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Code and County regulations.
