Road) of the existing facility. Almond orchards exist to the southeast of the facility. Property Acquisition and Access Theproposed expansion property acquisition area includes a small portion of the open field to the north (APN: 04-006-017) and 9t acres of the open field to the west (APN: 204-007-003). The expansion property acquisition to the west includes an existing gravel road along the west side of the existing facility. This road provides access from Lovelace Road to the existing chicken brooding operation to the northwest. Alternate access to this farm operation may already exist from Airport Way on the north side of the chicken brooding operation. If not,.this access road may need to be relocated to the west side of the expansion area. Adequate access to the chicken brooding operation will need to be demonstratedr rior to project construction. Relocation of the access road is not considered a significant environmental or land use impact. Construction ctivities may be considered a temporary nuisance to the Hayre Farms operation. . Compensation for property acquisition and impacts, such as a road relocation, are typically carried out during the appraisal and compensation negotiation between the County and the individual property owners. San Joaquin County typically purchases property by informing the owners of their rights to fair compensation, and by paying the agreed market value for the required property. If agreement cannot be reached, the County may file a condemnation action in court, exercising the governments right of eminent domain as provided by the Constitution. In such a case the court hears testimony relative to the value of the lands the County wishes to acquire, and determines based on evidence presented by the County and the land owner,what is fair come ation. Either ay appeal the judges ecisio if they are dissatisfiedwitha compensation awarde . Acquisition from either a willing seller or by eminent domain would only affect those portions of land actually needed for the proposed project, and would not affect the remainder of the property. B.

ISSUE: Consistency with zoning The commitment of agriculturally zoned property,in this case AG-40,is conditionally allowed for "Ma or Impact Services" uses as described previously.
