(2)
No parcel included within the district shall be developed to a more intensive use than its existing use at the time of the adoption of the ordinance for ten years from the date of adoption of the district. This provision shall not be construed to restrict expansion of, or improvements to, the agricultural or forestal use of this land, or prevent the construction of additional houses within the district, where otherwise permitted by applicable law, for either land owner, a member of the owner's family or for a tenant who farms the land.
(3)
No parcel added to an already established district shall be developed to a more intensive use than its existing use at the time of addition to the district for ten years from the date of adoption of the original ordinance.
(4)
Land used in agricultural and forestal production within the agricultural and forestal district of statewide significance shall qualify for an agricultural or forestal value assessment on such land pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 19 of the Fairfax County Code and to Section 58.1-3230 et seq. of Virginia Code, if the requirement for such assessment contained therein are satisfied.

Surveys and other similar activities of the Resource Management Division shall be conducted only with prior permission of the property owner and at terms mutually acceptable to both parties and establishment before each occurrence.
(9)
The establishment and continuation of this district depends upon the continuing legality and enforceability of each of the terms and conditions stated in this ordinance.
