CHAPTER 3. INTERIM PROTECTED AGRICULTURAL ZONE (I -PA) SECTION 9-4200. INTENT. The PA -1 (Protected Agric4ltural District), subsequently retitled the I -PA (Interim Protected Agricultural) zone, was established to regulate land use on the fringes of the rapidly urbanizing areas of the County. The PA -1 district and the I -PA zone permitted a wide variety of permitted and conditional uses to provide flexibility while regulating land uses in areas so zoned until such time as a comprehensive, long- term general plan for the physical development of the County could be adopted and precise zoning established to implement the proposals of the General Plan. Since adoption of the General Plan, a substantial majority of the County has been precisely zoned in conformance with the General Plan, with the majority of those areas still zoned I -PA shown on the General Plan for future urban uses. State legislation requiring that zoning be consistent with the General Plan makes it mandatory the I -PA zone be replaced with precise zones; however, the I -PA zone is being retained in the zoning ordinance until such time as it is feasible to complete the lengthy processes to rezone I -PA areas to precise zones con- sistent with the General Plan. In order to minimize conflict between existing and future land uses, the I -PA zone is amended to reduce the number of permitted and conditional uses which are not consistent with the intent of the General Plan, and to require specific conformance with the General Plan in the appro- val of use permits for commercial or industrial uses. It is the policy of the County that the I -PA zone is an agri- cultural or rural residential zone and is intended to be an interim zone which will be replaced with precise zoning as soon as it is feasible. Further, it is the policy of the County that the I -PA zone will be administered at all time to implement the proposals and policies of the General Plan. Source: Ordinance No. 2033. SECTION 9-4201.
