5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the current land uses on adjacent properties. The adjacent parcels are primarily agricultural with scattered residences. The proposed use may be conditionally permitted in the AG- 40 zone subject to an approved Use Permit application. Williamson Act Principle of Compatibility 1. The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the commercial stable will not displace any agricultural operations. The parcel is currently used for a private family stable for horse raising which includes an existing private foaling barn, horse shelters, and hay storage buildings. As such, agricultural buildings are permitted uses on property under contract and are consistent with the AIG (General Agriculture) General Plan Designation. Therefore, the proposed project development area for the commercial stable will not compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the parcel as the parcel is 22.0 acres in size. Furthermore, pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1810.3(1)(X), a commercial stable is a compatible use on contracted land. If the project is approved, the Zoning and the General Plan land use designation of the subject parcel will remain the same, therefore the proposed project will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. 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 of Compatibility can be made because the proposed commercial stable operation will not displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. The proposed project area currently contains irrigated pasture land for grazing for horses on 22.0 acres, and the existing and proposed agricultural structures are to be utilized for the private family stable and proposed commercial stable operations. The surrounding land uses are agricultural with scattered residences. The addition of the proposed commercial stable will not change the existing uses on the project site nor on the surrounding parcels. 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 noncontracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed use, a family operated commercial stable, will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use, or negatively impact adjacent noncontracted lands in an agricultural preserve. Because the parcel is 22.0 acres in size and relative in size to the other parcels in the area, the proposed commercial stable operation will not displace or impair current agricultural operations or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on other contracted lands.
