Agricultural Land Use Policy 3(a) (General Plan Volume I, pg. VI-11) Limited Agriculture Function: The Limited Agriculture land use designation will be considered in areas of small-scale agricultural operations where parcels are generally between five (5) and ten (10) acres in size outside of areas planned for urban development, and in areas zoned AL-5 and AL-10 as of the adoption of this Plan. • The currently size of the two parcels is 20.89-acres and 27.74-acres, respectively. The parcels are substantially larger than the five (5) to ten (10) acre size requirement for parcels to be considered for the Limited Agriculture land use designation. Agricultural Land Use Policy 7 (General Plan Volume I, pg. VI-13) Preservation of Agricultural Lands/Compatible Uses There shall be no further fragmentation of land designated for agricultural use, except in the following cases: a. Parcels for homesites may be created, provided that the General Plan density is not exceeded. b. A parcel may be created for the purpose of separating existing dwellings on a lot, provided the Development Title regulations are met. c. A parcel may be created for use granted by permit in the AG zone, provided that conflicts with surrounding agricultural operations are mitigated. • The proposed lots that would be created from this application would constitute a fragmentation of land designated for agricultural use. The exceptions listed do not apply to the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project would not be consistent with the General Plan. NOTE: The pre-application conference is designed to inform prospective applicants of General Plan consistency, zoning consistency, public improvement requirements, preliminary design constraints and opportunities, and major environmental and safety issues. This information is provided in the hope of assisting the applicant in submitting a better and more complete application, as well as minimizing processing time. It is not intended to be an in-depth analysis, and an environmental assessment is not completed. The applicant should be aware that a detailed review will not be done until the full application is submitted. Also, if new or additional information is obtained, a revised application or Environmental Impact Report may be required.
