Title
Development Services Department, Planning Services Division, recommending the Board certify that the Notice of Non-Renewal for a portion of Agricultural Preserve No. 172/Penelope Hocking (APN 087-021-57) has been submitted and is consistent with Board of Supervisors Policy C-12.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None
Background: One of the owners of Agricultural Preserve No. 172 has submitted a letter for non-renewal. The preserve consists of 276.75 acres, comprising Assessor's Parcel Numbers 087-021-57 and -58. The site is accessed from South Shingle Road, located in the Latrobe area, (Supervisorial District II).
Reason for Recommendation: Board of Supervisors' Policy C-12 establishes procedures for processing Notices of Non-Renewal. In accordance with Policy C-12, the Notice of Non-Renewal was received by the Board of Supervisors on September 28, 2007, and was recorded on October 1, 2007 (Document No. 2007006207).
Action to be taken following Board approval: The property owner is requesting a partial rollout of 105.9 acres from the 276.75 acre contract. Pursuant to Policy C-12, this report is being submitted to the Agricultural Commission. Because this is a partial rollout, further action would be required by the Agricultural Commission to determine whether the remaining 170.85 acre parcel identified by Assessor's Parcel No. 087-021-58, would qualify for a Williamson Act Contract. Upon a determination by the Agricultural Commission, the property owner of the remaining 170.85 acres would be required to submit a new Williamson Act Contract application to the County.
