PROPOSAL
|
|
|
Earlier this year, the Board of Supervisors approved a minor subdivision of the applicants' 77.6-acre parcel in the Resource Management District with a condition that the applicants revise their Class A Agricultural Preserve contract to include the new legal descriptions. This requires rescission of the old contract and entering a new contract with the changed legal descriptions.

DISCUSSION
|
|
|
A Class A agricultural preserve contract was established for the subject property on February 15, 1977, and has been automatically renewed until present day. On January 9, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved a Minor Subdivision of this 77.6-acre parcel into two parcels consisting of 39.3 acres and 38.3 acres. One of the conditions of approval required an update of the Class A agricultural preserve contract (Williamson Act contract) to include new legal descriptions resulting from the minor subdivision. This is a house keeping measure to keep the County's Williamson Act Contracts updated with land use development associated with these contracts.
