I Development Committee -2- ' GP-92-4 AND ZR-92-3 i The applicants appealed this denial to the Board of Supervisors, E who, on July 20, 1989, denied the appeal and upheld the Planning Commission's earlier denial. ' In the intervening years there have been no significant changes in circumstances in the Morada area, or in the General Plan policies addressing agricultural resources, and rural besidential development. As with the previously proposed project, this project appears to be inconsistent with numerous aspect of the General Plan. The following is a discussion of the pertinent elements of the General Plan. Rural Residential Principle No. 1: Rural residential areas should be kept to a minimum in number and extent. This policy is meant to recognize existing areas and to limit the expansion of these areas into viable agricultural areas. This proposal is inconsistent with this policy in that it would expand the Morada rural residential area by 43 acres into an agricultural area. Rural Residential Principle No. 3: Future rural residential development will take place only within the designated areas and outward expansion will be discouraged. This development should occur in a manner that will maintain the rural character of the area. I - The proposed project would be inconsistent with this principle in that it would be an outward expansion of the existing Morada Rural residential area into prime agricultural land. Agriculture Principle No. 1: The resources upon which agriculture is based will be protected, and the utilization of these resources for agricultural purposes will be encouraged. The proposal is inconsistent with this policy in that it would correct approximately 43 acres of prime agriculture land to residential uses.
