y John Funuerbur-n, ' January 15, 2008 Page 2 of 5 Ct�celat�on:is Cnsistnt'wifh'the Pitr Vises`ofthe VllilliarriSor7 Act For cancellation to be consistent_with purposes of.the Williamson Act, San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors (Board) must make all of the follovvrng:five findings.:, .1) a notice of nonrenewal has been served', 2) removal of adjacent fan.d:from agricultural use is not likely, 3) the alternative use is consistent with the County's General Plan, 4) discontiguous patterns of urban development will not result, and 5) that there is no proximate noncontracted land which is available and suitable for the use proposed on the contracted land or that development of the contracted land would provide more contiguous patterns of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted land. (1) Notice of nonrenewal has been served: The San Joaquin County Recorder recorded a notice of nonrenewal for a portion of the subject contract on July 5, 2007. The portion of contract is scheduled to terminate on the last day of February, 2016, through the nonrenewal process. (2) Removal of-adjacent land from agricultural use .is not likely: The subject parcel is surrounded by Prime-Farmland Subsequent removal of.adjacent lands from agricultural use appears not likely to result from this removal of the`homesite. However, the Department has concern thaf'homesite removal may result in--the remaining=contracted land being in conflict with minimum-parcel size requirements for Williamson :Act contract eligibility.. Thus, .the Department recommends the-Board consider nonrenewal of the remainder parcel as condition to their cancellation approval. (3) Alternative use is consistent with County's General Plan: The proposed alternative use appears to be consistent with San Joaquin County General Plan. Creation of a retained homesite parcel is allowed within designated agricultural areas, consistent with AIG (General Agriculture) General Plan designation, wl tich states a residentia!,density at a iaaicita tlm ef:ane primary r side�`ce per { :ares. (4) Discontiguous patterns of urban development will not result: Based on the information provided, the Department agrees with the determination that discontiguous patterns of urban development are not likely to occur. The Department, however, recommends that any additional information regarding the intent and ability of the intervening landowners to develop their land be added to the record.
