5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because with the Conditions of Approval the proposed use will not interfere with or alter the current agricultural uses on adjacent properties. The properties surrounding the project site are zoned AG-40 and are being used for agricultural purposes with scattered residences. The nearest residence is located on the adjacent parcel to the north, 700 feet north of the agricultural store operations. Williamson Act Compatibility Principles 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 an agricultural store will not displace any agricultural operations. No new buildings are proposed. The use on the subject property will remain agricultural and will therefore not significantly compromise the long-term productive 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 agricultural store relates directly to the production of commercial agricultural products because they are for the promotion of produce grown on the property and on surrounding parcels. The proposed use, including parking areas,will occur on an acre portion of an existing 21- acre parcel. 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 of an agricultural store will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. The surrounding properties are agricultural. Therefore it will not negatively impact agricultural uses on adjacent contracted lands and will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use.
