Art. 16 RPG · Landwirtschaftszonen
Landwirtschaftszonen dienen der langfristigen Sicherung der Ernährungsbasis des Landes, der Erhaltung der Landschaft und des Erholungsraums oder dem ökologischen Ausgleich und sollen entsprechend ihren verschiedenen Funktionen von Überbauungen weitgehend freigehalten werden. Sie umfassen Land, das: a. sich für die landwirtschaftliche Bewirtschaftung oder den produzierenden Gartenbau eignet und zur Erfüllung der verschiedenen Aufgaben der Landwirtschaft benötigt wird; oder b. im Gesamtinteresse landwirtschaftlich bewirtschaftet werden soll.
Soweit möglich werden grössere zusammenhängende Flächen ausgeschieden.
Die Kantone tragen in ihren Planungen den verschiedenen Funktionen der Landwirtschaftszone angemessen Rechnung.
