The word is out that there are changes afoot at the County level which will result in the increased economic viability of Ag-zoned parcels in the unincorporated areas. The Agricultural Enterprise Ordinance and the Recreational Master Plan are both working their ways through the planning process (the Farmstay Ordinance Amendments have been incorporated into the Agricultural Enterprise Ordinance planning process). This is a moment of unique opportunity for existing owners and buyers of commercial ag land to submit projects while this process is occurring. Please see links provided for further information.
