is <br /> b. At least two or more certified qualifying <br /> farms, contiguous to each other, which <br /> will create a district of not less than 80 <br /> acres [rounded to the nearest whole acre] . <br /> In addition, small tracts or lots, when <br /> surrounded by or adjacent to certified <br /> qualifying farms, may be added to and thereby <br /> included in an existing or proposed voluntary <br /> agricultural district. <br /> At its April 21, 1993 meeting, the Agricultural <br /> Districts Advisory Board voted unanimously to <br /> recommend approval of the proposed ordinance <br /> amendment. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Unlike proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, <br /> amendments to the Voluntary Farmland Preservation <br /> Ordinance do not have to be referred back to the <br /> Agricultural Districts Advisory Board for further <br /> recommendation. Thus, the Board of Commissioners <br /> may, if it chooses, take action on the proposal <br /> following the public hearing. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the <br /> proposed amendment. <br />
