The Act creates an arrangement whereby private landowners contract with counties and cities to voluntarily restrict their land to agricultural and compatible open-space uses.
The California Land Conservation Act, commonly known as the Williamson Act, is a state agricultural land preservation program in which each local jurisdiction can elect to participate. Santa Clara County as well as some local cities currently participate in this program.
Does AB 1492 Prohibit Homesite Construction on Williamson Act Contracted Lands? No, as long as the residence is part of the agricultural use of the land for commercial agricultural production.
New Structures & Land Improvements A structure shall not be built on the land except for use consistent with farm operations, which includes a residence for an individual essential to the operation of the farm. Land improvements shall not be made except for uses consistent with farm operations.
A landowner must submit an application to the City or County requesting the contract be cancelled for a portion or the entirety of the contracted area. See the Contract Cancellations page for detailed information and constraints. For questions regarding cancellations, contact your local Planning Department.
An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into Williamson Act contracts with landowners. The boundary is designated by resolution of the board or city council having jurisdiction. Agricultural preserves must generally be at least 100 acres in size.
Most municipalities that have "agricultural zones" permit residential development on one to five acre tracts. Dividing farmland into these large tracts essentially turns a farm into large residential lots.
If a building or structure is directly related to an agricultural activity on the same parcel of land, then Ohio zoning law does not allow a county or township to require a zoning certificate or prohibit the construction or use of the building.
