paid before the man can be buried.

district fees. Mr. Blackstock set out what he has done to attempt to get

PORTION OF THE COUNTY
The public hearing on the Planning Commission initiated rezoning from
"A-2" (general) to "A-3" and~~,-40"(agricultural-open space) for the southwest
portion of the County was held as advertised. Jim Lacason, P1anDing
Director, explained the background of this matter, He set out the area to be
rezoned. The proposed rezoning was initiated to provide zoning consistent
with the agricultural use of the area. The existing zone allows non-agricultural
uses and a density not consistent .with the orchard-field crop designation in
the County General Plan. The land in the area is Class I and Class TI
Page 306. '
February 26, 1974
February_25,_1974
Agricultural Soils, as classified by the Soil Conservation District. There
are numerous parcels within the area which are participating in the
Williamson Act Open-Space Program. Staff believes that the proposed zoning
is consistent with the land use in the area and will provide long-term
protection for the agricultural lands in the County. Mr. Lawson stated that
Biggs and Gridley are in the process of re-evaluating their zoning, Planning
staff is meeting with these cities to discuss the matter of zoning and they

This could be thrown in with the rest for study.
Uses permitted in the area discussed. Discussed the matter of
hunting and fishing camps. Discussed whether there should be a requirement
of five acres for these camps. Supervisor Ladd felt there ~•~as a lot of land
that could not be used for agriculture. There are small parcels that could
be used for camping. It was felt the requirements should be modified to
state that one acre would be suffient for such camps. This would be a
modification to the zoning and it would have to be referred back to the
Planning Commission with the recommendation that in the`~A~40"that one acre
would be sufficient for the fishing and hunting camps.
Matter referred bac?: to the Planning Commission for their study
at their Thursday night meeting and to be placed back on the agenda for
