SUMMARY:
The proposed lot line adjustment entails the transfer of 1.12 acres from Parcel 1 (1140.62 acres) to Parcel 2 (40 acres), then 1.12 acres from Parcel 2 to Parcel 3 (661.88 acres); resulting in one 1139.50 acre parcel (Parcel 1), one 40 acre parcel (Parcel 2), and one 663 acre parcel (Parcel 3). All lands are zoned F/40 (Farmlands, 40 acres per unit). All properties are under Williamson Act Farmland Security Zone Contracts (FSZ K No. 2001-006 and FSZ K No. 2001-007), owned by Fairview Real Properties LLC and South County Property Company LLC.
A lot line adjustment between three (3) existing legal lots of record is being requested in order to clearly delineate the leased area within Parcel 2 from the vineyards areas within Parcel 1 and Parcel 3, while not reducing the acreage of Parcel B to less than 40 acres. No new uses are proposed. The exterior boundaries of the contracts will not change.
