Agricultural Mitigation This project will be subject to the Agricultural Mitigation Ordinance of the Development Title if the project is approved. The Ordinance requires agricultural mitigation for a General Plan Amendment that changes the designation of any land from an agricultural to a non-agricultural use or for a Zone Reclassification that changes the permitted uses from agricultural to a non-agricultural use (Section 9- 1080.3[a]). Agricultural Mitigation shall be satisfied by granting a farmland conservation easement or other farmland conservation mechanism to or for the benefit of a qualifying entity as set forth in Development Title Section 9-1080.3(d). The number of acres of agricultural mitigation land shall be at least equal to the number of acres that will be changed to a non-agricultural use (a 1:1 ratio). Pursuant to Section 9-1080.3(f), submission of the required legal instrument to provide agricultural mitigation land shall occur at the time of Grading Permit or Building Permit issuance. General Plan Amendment Development Title Section 9-803.4 states that prior to approving a General Plan Amendment application, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall determine that the internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the Amendment. The proposed amendment must be consistent with various General Plan goals, policies, objectives and implementation measures as discussed below: Function The function of the Commercial Freeway Service is to provide for commercial uses oriented almost exclusively to serving the needs of the freeway or state highway traveler. Typical Uses Typical Uses in the Commercial Freeway Service zone consists of: Travel-related businesses including gasoline service stations, food and beverage sales, eating and drinking establishments, and hotels and motels. Freeway Service Development and Locational Criteria (General Plan Volume I, p. IV-25,26) Freeway Service Area shall be: 1. designated only adjacent to full freeway interchanges, or where two (2) state highways intersect, where development will be easily accessible and visible to the freeway traveler when adjacent to a freeway, or to the state highway traveler when adjacent to the intersection of two (2) state highways, The parcel is adjacent to a full interchange at State Route 99 Highway and Woodbridge Road. The proposed project appears to meet this criterion. 2. limited in number to encourage clustering of uses at selected interchanges, There are 11 C/FS designated parcels 7.5 miles south of the proposed project site, 5 parcels are located on the west side of State Route 99 Highway and 6 parcels are located on the east side of State Route 99 Highway and there is one (1) C/FS designated parcel on the east side of State Route 99 Highway four (4) miles to the north of the proposed project site. The proposed project appears to meet this criterion. 3. limited in area in order to reduce impacts on surrounding land uses and control the physical and visual extent of these areas;
