The record
“Mitigation for the loss of agricultural land shall be required whenever the City Council approves a General Plan amendment and/or rezone for urban development on agricultural land or farmland as defined herein. For every acre converted to urban development, one acre of mitigation shall be required (1:1 ratio), except as otherwise required in this chapter.”
“Agricultural mitigation shall be completed as a condition of approval prior to the acceptance of a final parcel or subdivision map, or prior to the issuance of any building permit for development projects that do not involve a map.”
“The following uses and activities shall be exempt from the requirements of this chapter:1. Affordable housing projects, where all of the units are affordable to extremely low, very low, or low income households, as defined in Chapter 15.16, Affordable Housing, of this code; and2. Public facilities such as parks, greenbelts, schools, cultural institutions, and other public agency facilities and infrastructure that do not generate revenue. The applicability of this exemption to public facilities and infrastructure that do not generate revenue shall be evaluated by the City Council on a case-by-case basis. The City Council may partly or entirely deny the exemption if it determines the additional cost of complying with this program does not jeopardize project feasibility and no other circumstances warrant application of the exemption.”
