Previously Approved Williamson Act Principles 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 proposed distillery will not displace any agricultural operations . The proposed distillery will be contained within existing buildings only, and site improvements ( i . e . parking ) will be contained within existing disturbed land areas . No new buildings are proposed . The remainder of-the property, which was previously utilized for asparagus farming until 2015 , will be utilized to grow barley and other products that will be processed into alcohol within the distillery . The use on the subject property will remain in agriculture and will therefore will 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 , the proposed distillery operation will utilize all existing buildings , and necessary improvements will be contained within the existing disturbed area on site . The site , which previously grew asparagus will be converted to barley, and other grains to be processed by the distillery . No agriculture wlfl be displaced as the facility - mill be wholly utilized by the compatible ag- iculturai uses . 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 use , a distillery, will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area . The surrounding properties= contai- n agricultural uses -and will not be affected by the project . The Agricultural Processing - Food Manufacturing use type is a permitted use on property under contract and is consistent with- the A/G ( General Agriculture ) General Plan Designation . Therefore, the distillery 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 .
