Access and Circulation The site plan depicts one(1)driveway that accesses from West Delta Avenue, and three (3) internal driveways that are sixteen (16) feet in width. However, it does not depict the circulation pattern for the driveway and maneuvering areas. Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1015.5(h)(1), access driveways shall have a width of no less than twenty-five (25) feet for two-way aisles and sixteen (16) feet for one-way aisles, except that in no case shall driveways designated as fire department access be less than twenty (20) feet wide. The applicant must clearly depict all driveway widths and the circulation pattern on a revised site plan. Williamson Act Principals of Compatibility The proposed project site is currently under Williamson Act contract No. WA-71-C1-264. The contract restricts development to uses that are compatible with the Williamson Act and Development Title Section 9-1805. "Compatible use" as defined in the Williamson Act includes uses determined by the County to be compatible with the agricultural, recreational, or open-space use of land within the preserve and subject to contract. (Government Code Section 51201[e]) (Development Title Section 9-1810.3[b]) 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 processing facility and chicken farm are agricultural uses and 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 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, 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 are compatible uses 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 non-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
