This principle can be made because the parcels that are under Williamson Act contract are all forty acres in size and each new parcel is large enough to sustain an agricultural use under Government Code Section 51201. 2. The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. • This principle can be made because the subdivision will not create premature development pressure on surrounding agricultural preserves and establish an undesirable growth inducing precedent that will lead to removal of adjacent agricultural lands for agricultural use. 3. The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use. In evaluating compatibility a board or council shall consider the impacts on non-contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This principle can be made because the proposed subdivision use will result in four, forty-acre parcels on contracted land that is suitable for agriculture. Approval of this subdivision will not impact other uses in the vicinity. Each parcel can contain a single family residence, a second unit dwelling and agricultural buildings. Residences and agricultural buildings are permitted uses on property under contract and are consistent with the A/G General Plan Designation. The surrounding properties are either grazing land or orchards with agricultural buildings. Therefore, the subdivision will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use.
