approved Use Permit. Williamson Act Principles of Compatability: 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 proposed project will convert existing structures to be utilized as a commercial stable. The existing agricultural buildings were permitted on property under contract and are consistent with the A/G (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 parcels total 198.45 in size combined. 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 will convert existing agricultural structures to be used as the commercial stable, and all pasture areas are currently utilized as pasture for private horse raising practices.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 parcels are 198.45 acres in size combined, the proposed commercial stable operation will not displace or impair current agricultural operations or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on other contracted lands.
