Dear Ms. Aguirre: The Department of Conservation's (Department) Division of Land Resource Protection (Division) monitors farmland conversion on a statewide basis and administers the California Land Conservation (Williamson) Act and other agricultural land conservation programs. The Division has reviewed the above referenced project and offers the following comments and recommendations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is an application for a lot line adjustment between two legal parcels approximately 21 acres (APN's 245-020-38 and -11) and 62 acres (APN's 245-020-08; -24; -25; -32; -33; -34) in size. The adjustment would result in a 3.9 acre parcel (Parcel 1) and a 79.2 acre parcel (Parcel 2). The property is zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40 acre minimum) and the General Plan designation is A/G (General Agriculture). Approximately 21 acres (APN's 245-020-38 and 245-020-11) of the 83 acre site is subject to a Land Conservation (Williamson) Act contract. The project site is located on the southwest corner of North Ripon Road and Leroy Avenue and is bisected by Donahoe Road, in Ripon. DIVISION COMMENTS The Land Conservation Act statute contains provisions (Government Code §51257) to facilitate minor lot-line adjustments to contracted parcels. This section requires the following specific findings be made by the-board of supervisors to approve the lot line adjustment: The Department of Conservation's mission is to balance today's needs with tomorrow's challenges and foster intelligent, sustainable, and efficient use of California's energy, land, and mineral resources.
