• This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for the project found no potentially significant environmental impacts. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control -Board stated that the project would be required to file a Notice of Intent and receive coverage under the General Order. The design and construction of any new ponds would also require Executive Officer approval prior to construction and use, and that water flowing through the fan emissions area should be managed through the wastewater management system. In addition, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution. Control District concluded that -the project sFrecific criteria pollutant emissions would not have a significant adverse impact on air quality, and that the project would not be subject to District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review). In addition, the proposed use is agricultural in nature and the property is zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture with a 40-acre minimum). Pursuant to the San Joaquin County Right-To-Farm Ordinance (Section 6-9004[3]), the inconveniences or discomforts associated with agricultural operations or activities, including but not limited to noise, odors, insects, fumes, dust or the operation of machinery during any 24-hour period sha!I not be considered a nuisance.

The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the current land uses on adjacent properties. Surrounding land uses to the north, south, east, and west include agricultural crops and single-family residences with detached accessory buildings on agriculturally zoned parcels. The proposed use is agricultural in nature and the project site is zoned AG-40(General Agriculture with a 40-acre minimum). 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 use is for a poultry egg farm and is an agricultural use as defined in the Williamson Act. The use is an approved use on contracted lands pursuant to Deveiopment Title Section 9-1810.3. The proposed expansion will not impact the long-term productive agricultural capability of other contracted lands in the 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, including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because 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. The proposed use is for a poultry egg farm on the contracted parcel. San Joaquin County PA-1500200/Jenkins Community Development Page 9
