5. 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. The parcel will remain zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture with a 40-acre minimum). The parcels to the north, south, west.are zoned AG-40 and contain agricultural uses. The parcels to the east contain agricultural uses and are within the jurisdiction of the city of Lodi. Williamson Act Compatibility Principles: 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 can be made because the existing winery and the proposed expansion of the winery will displace only 2.5 acres of an 80-acre vineyard. Furthermore,the winery currently ut(lizes the existing on-site vineyard.Therefore,the proposed project will not impact or displace the existing agricultural use on the parcel nor will it impact the long- term productive agricultural capability of other contracted lands in the agricultural preserves.;. 2. 'The use will notsignificantly 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 can be made because the proposed project relates directly to the production of wine,which is a commercial agricultural product. 3. The use will not,r.esult 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 principle can be made because the proposed expansion of an existing winery will encourage continued agricultural uses in the area.Therefore it will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use. t San Joaquin County.
