WILLIAMSON ACT PRINCIPLES OF COMPATIBILITY PA -0200370 REED LEASING GROUP LLC / BASIC RESOURCES, INC. 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 finding can be made because the proposed quarry operation is a compatible use for parcels subject to a Williamson Act contract and the entire site will be reclaimed to restore its agricultural capability upon the completion of the quarry operation. Therefore, it will not significantly compromise the subject contracted parcel or parcels 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. • This finding can be made because the proposed use is for a quarry operation. A portion of the subject contracted parcel is currently an almond orchard. The quarry operation and subsequent reclamation plan to restore the agricultural viability, of the contracted land to an almond or walnut orchard will enhance the subject contracted parcel agricultural viability. 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 finding can be made because the entire site will be reclaimed allowing for the planting of row crops and vegetation for crop production. Therefore it will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open -space use. PA -0200370 — Williamson Act Principals of Compatibility
