1 <br /> 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the <br /> current land uses on adjacent properties. The properties surrounding the project site are <br /> all zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40 acre minimum lot size) with agricultural uses and <br /> scattered residences on those parcels. Surrounding parcels are all of sufficient size to <br /> sustain agricultural activities. <br /> j Williamson Act Compatibility Principles <br /> (1)The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject <br /> contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. <br /> i This finding can be made because the proposed use is for the production of food, and is <br /> an agricultural use as defined in the Williamson Act.The proposed expansion will not <br /> impact the long-term productive agricultural capability of other contracted lands in the <br /> agricultural preserves. <br /> (2) The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural <br /> I operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural <br /> preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or <br /> k parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural <br /> F products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, including activities such as <br /> harvesting, processing, or shipping. <br /> • This finding can be made because the use will not significantly displace or impair current <br /> or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or <br /> parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. The proposed use is for the <br /> processing of agricultural products on the contracted parcel. <br /> (3)The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open- <br /> space use. In evaluating compatibility a board or council shall consider the impacts on noncontracted <br /> lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. <br /> This finding can be made because the proposed use,Wineries and Wine Cellars,Winery- <br /> large, will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area.Therefore it will <br /> not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open- <br /> space use. Additionally,the land on the parcel is in the Kingdon fine sandy loam map unit <br /> of the Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, California issued October 1992. This map unit is <br /> in capability units t (MLRA-17), irrigated and capability unit IVc-1 (MLRA-17), nonirrigated. It <br /> is in vegetative soil group A. <br /> San Joaquin County PA-0700404/Schatz <br /> Community Development Page 6 <br />
