Agriculture Promotion Program (POD 14-001)

Agriculture Promotion Program (POD 14-001)

The project consists of amending the County's Zoning Ordinance to provide an updated set of definitions, procedures, and standards for review and permitting of agriculture-related accessory uses throughout the unincorporated County. The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment would allow for the development of accessory agricultural uses such as microbreweries, cheese-making and dairy operations, onsite food production, mobile butchering, packing and processing, onsite retail horticulture sales, animal raising, roadside sales of agricultural products, agricultural tourism, and agricultural homestays on agricultural lands that are zoned Agriculture (A70 and A72), General Rural (S92), and Specific Plan (S88), consistent with the County's General Plan. Amendments to the Animal Regulations would apply to the keeping of animals in all zones.
