V Vol. 1). The residential density of AIG is one primary dwelling urger 20 gross acres (General Plan Policies 2, (a) p. VI-10 Vol. 1). Intensity of the General Agriculture Zone Agricultural lands policy 3(b) (General Plan Vol. 1, page VI-11) states: "The Limited Agriculture land use designation will be considered in areas of small-scale agricultural operations where the parcels are generally between five and ten acres in size outside of areas planned for urban development, and in areas zoned AL-5 and AL-10 as of the adoption of this Plan." The area surrounding the project clearly meets this criterion. The proposed General Agriculture designation is for parcel sizes that are generally large enough to support commercial agricultural activities (Agricultural Lands Policy 2(a)(2)). The AG zones which implement the General Agriculture General Plan designation provide for more intensive uses than the AL zones which implement the Limited Agriculture General Plan designation. Such uses include, but are not limited to, Cemeteries, Explosives Handling, Food Manufacturing, Major Impact Services, Outdoor Sports Clubs, Quarry Operations and Wineries and Wine Cellars (Development Title Table 9-605.2). Because those uses are likely to present land use conflicts with the less intensive uses of the surrounding Limited Agriculture designation, the proposed General Plan amendment does not appear to be consistent with General Plan Growth Accommodation Objective 2 (General Pian Vol. 1, page IV-4) which is "To make efficient use of land and promote a functional development pattern with varied and compatible land uses." Text Amendment The applicant states that the underlying project is a small winery; Wineries and Wine Cellars are not permitted in the AL zone. However, the applicant may propose a text amendment to conditionally permit Wineries and Wine Cellars in the AL zone. __ NOTE: The pre-application conference .is designed to inform _prospective applicants of General Plan consistency, zoning consistency, public improvement requirements, preliminary design constraints and opportunities, and major environmental and safety issues. This information is provided in the hope of assisting the applicant in submitting a better and more complete application, as well as minimizing processing time. It is not intended to be an in-depth analysis, and an environmental assessment is not completed. The applicant should be aware that a detailed review will not be done until the full application is submitted. Also, if new or additional information is obtained, a revised application or Environmental Impact Report may be required. JJ:vb PA-0800212(G P)JJDC08272008 Attachments C: Donald & Shirley Clubertson 2
