• This Principle of Compatibility can be made because an agricultural processing facility and chicken farm are an agricultural use and that the remainder of the parcel will remain planted in alfalfa.The use on the subject property will remain in agriculture and will therefore not significantly compromise the long term productive capability of the subject contracted parcel or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. The use is an approved use on contracted land pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1810.3, 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 land in agricultural preserves.Uses tha:significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatiole F they relate directly to the procuction of commercial agricultural products on the subiect contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands including activities such as harvesting,processing.or shipping • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because, although the use may displace agricultural production operations, the proposed agricultural processing facility and chicken farm relate directly to the production of agricultural products, and therefore is a compatible use for a Williamson Act contracted 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 nor-contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed uses,an agricultural processing facility and chicken farm,will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area.The surrounding properties contain agricultural uses and will not be affected by the project. The Agricultural Processing—Food Manufacturing,and Animal Raising-Small Animals use types are a permitted use on property under contract and is consistent with the AIG (General Agriculture) General Plan Designation.Therefore,the agricultural processing facility 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. The project will not affect any agricultural uses, nor will it affect ex sting Williamson Act contracts. Therefore,the proposed application will have a less than significant impact on agriculture and forestry resources The proposed project does not conflict with any existing or planned uses as the zoning and General Plan designations w 11 remain the same.Therefore,this prosect will no:set a signi-rcart land use precedent in the area. There are no applicable Master Plans,Specific Plans,or Special Purpose Plans in the vicinity.Referrals have been sent to the Department of Conservation for revrev i Planning Commission Staff Report, Item # 1 02/06/2020 — PA-1800316 (UP) 10 Environmental Review
