one-way aisles. The circulation patterns for ingress and egress traffic and aisle widths must clearly be shown on the Improvement Plan. Lighting The applicant states the hours of operation are from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1015.5(g), parking lot and security lighting must be installed if the parking area is to be used at night and all lighting must be designed to confine direct rays to the premises with no spill over. Parking lot lighting shall be shown on the Improvement Plan- Williamson Act Principals of Compatibility The proposed project site is currently under Williamson Act contract No. WA-72-C1-185. 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. (Government Code Section 51201[e]) (Development Title Section 9-1810.3[b]) 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 an agricultural processing facility will not displace any agricultural operations. The property is currently used for orchards and private packing facility, which will remain. The use on the subject property will remain in agriculture and will therefore not significantly compromise the long term productive capability of the subject contracted parcel or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. The use is an approved use on contracted land pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1810.3. 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 land 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, although the use may displace current agricultural operations, the proposed agricultural processing facility relates directly to the production of agricultural products. The proposed use will occur on 7.5 acres of an existing 20- acre parcel. The remaining portion of the parcel will continue to remain as orchards. 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 non-contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed use, an agricultural processing facility, will encourage continued and
