Establishing an urban agriculture zone, within which private property units can contractually restrict the use of their vacant land to urban agriculture and/or food sales/processing in exchange for property tax incentives

Establishes and provides regulations for an Urban Agriculture Zones (UAZ) for growers, and small businesses who process or sell food, on blighted and underutilized land. Qualified UAZs are exempt from property taxes for a time period designated by the city council, up to 25 years. Grower UAZs may receive a rebate to cover water utilization costs, if funds are available. Food vending UAZs are required to have 75% of the food be locally grown, as defined by the law. Local sales taxes collected from sales of agricultural products on the UAZ or by a mobile unit associated with the UAZ are to be deposited in an account designated by the Missouri UAZ Act.
