5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses . This finding can be made because, with the Conditions of Approval regarding ending marketing events at 10.00 p.m., roadway improvements, and relocating a power pole, the proposed use will not interfere with or alter the current agricultural and residential uses on adjacent properties. 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 an off-site winery requires a minimum of one acre of vineyard and the new use will not displace any agricultural operations. The use will utilize two existing agricultural buildings. There is an orchard that will remain. The uses on the subject property will remain agricultural uses and will therefore not significantly compromise the long-term productive capability of the subject contracted parcel or other contracted lands in 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 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 off-site wine cellar will utilize existing buildings. A minimum of one acre of the orchard will become vineyard. (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 can be made because the proposed use, an off-site wine cellar,will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. Therefore it will not negatively impact agricultural uses on adjacent contracted lands and will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use.
