Board eases criteria to include smaller Carpinteria Valley farm units
The Board of Supervisors approved liberalized criteria for agricultural preserves recommended by the County Agricultural Preserve Advisory Committee. The change allows contiguous farm economic units as small as five acres within a 40 acre preserve if gross sales total at least 5 000 dollars in the past three years or have strong planting commitments. Local farmers expect about 50 parcels to qualify, while officials caution the shift may clash with the state land conservation act. City officials oppose smaller-unit preserves and seek in depth studies on urban impact.
