 4     "Sec. ___.  Section 335.2, Code 1995, is amended to
 5   read as follows:
 6     335.2  FARMS EXEMPT.
 7     Except to the extent required to implement section
 8   335.27, no ordinance adopted under this chapter
 9   applies to land, farm houses, farm barns, farm
10   outbuildings or other buildings or structures which
11   are primarily adapted, by reason of nature and area,
12   for use for agricultural purposes, while so used.
13   However, the this section shall not apply to the
14   unincorporated area up to two miles beyond the limits
15   of a city.  In addition, ordinances may apply to any
16   structure, building, dam, obstruction, deposit or
17   excavation in or on the flood plains of any river or
18   stream.
19     Sec. ___.  Section 414.23, unnumbered paragraph 1,

21     The powers granted by this chapter may be extended
22   by ordinance by any city to the unincorporated area up
23   to two miles beyond the limits of such city, except
24   for those areas within a county where a county zoning
25   ordinance exists.  The ordinance shall describe in
26   general terms the area to be included.  The exemption
27   from regulation granted by section 335.2 to property
28   used for agricultural purposes shall not apply to such
29   unincorporated area.  If the limits of any such city
30   are at any place less than four miles distant from the
31   limits of any other city which has extended or
32   thereafter extends its zoning jurisdiction under this
33   section, then at such time the powers herein granted
34   shall extend to a line equidistant between the limits
35   of said cities."
