Foothill Agricultural Zone

The AF Zone is an exclusive zone for intensive and extensive foothill agricultural uses and for those uses which are a necessary and integral part of intensive and extensive foothill agricultural operations. The purposes of this zone are as follows: To protect the general welfare of the foothill agricultural community from encroachments of unrelated uses which, by their nature, would be injurious to the physical and economic well-being of the foothill agricultural community and the community at large.; To prevent to minimize the negative interaction between various foothill agricultural uses.; To prevent or minimize land use conflicts or injury to the physical or economic wellbeing of urban, suburban, or other non-agricultural uses by foothill agricultural uses.; To disburse intensive animal agricultural uses in order to avoid air, water or land pollution otherwise resulting from compact distribution of such uses.; To provide for a minimum parcel standard which is appropriate for foothill areas where soil capability and other characteristics are such that the unregulated breakdown of land would adversely affect the physical and economic well-being of the foothill agricultural community and the community at large.; To implement land use controls and developmentstandards which are necessary to achieve the goals and objectives for foothill agricultural lands as required by the General Plan.; To function as a holding zone in certain foothill areas which should be retained in extensive agricultural use until such time as the General Plan is amended to provide for the conversion of such lands to urban use.
