The LA, Limited Agricultural Zone, applies to the development of agricultural enterprises and uses, whether encumbered by a farmland conservation contract or not. This zone shall be utilized to identify those lands most capable of supporting horticulture, aquaculture, ranching, and grazing, based on existing use, soil type, water availability, topography, and similar factors. The LA zone is distinguished from the PA zone in that it provides limited opportunities for ranch marketing and commercial winery uses, and shall generally be applied where those more intensive commercial uses may be undesirable. Minimum lot size designators shall be applied to this zone based on commodity type, soil type, surrounding uses, and other appropriate factors. The designator shall represent the number of acres and shall be in the following increments: 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160.
