s Analysis Background The existing dairy has been in operation since 1963, produces approximately 4,000 gallons of milk a day, and has 4 employees. The applicant will be the sole employee processing approximately 30 gallons of cheese. There will be no customers or retail sales onsite. The cheese would be processed using milk from the on site dairy. Williamson Act This parcel is subject'to Williamson Act Contract 76-CA-54. The contract restricts development to uses that are compatible with the Williamson Act and Development Title Section 9-1805. "Compatible use" as defined in the Williamson Act includes uses determined by the County to be compatible with the agricultural, recreational, or open-space use of land within the preserve and subject to contract(GC Section 51201[e]). On July 20, 1992,the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 3675, finding that Agricultural Processing-Food Manufacturing is compatible with the Williamson Act. Additionally, pursuant to Government Code Section 51238.1, uses approved on contracted lands shall be consistent with the following three principles of compatibility: 1. The use will'hot significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject f contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. • This finding can be made because the proposed use is for the production of food, and is an agricultdiai use as defined in the Williamson Act. The proposed project 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 erations on the subject`contracted parcel preserves, uses that significantly displace agricultural op j p 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 finding can be made because the use will not significantly displace orimpair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted:parcel or parcels or on gther contracted lands in agricultural preserves. The proposed use is for the processing of agricultural products on the contracted parcel which enhances the current use on the parcel. 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 noncontracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. This finding can be made because the proposed use, Agricultural Processing-Food Manufacturing, will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. Therefore, it will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use. San Joaquin County'.' PA-10000131Stuyt Community Development Page 3
