This area is defined in the City’s General Plan and the 2014 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered in to between the City of Gonzales and the County of Monterey as part of the LAFCO process to expand the City’s LAFCO Sphere of Influence (SOI), as an area of high priority in which to establish Agricultural Conservation Easements to protect growth from occurring south of Gloria Road. (MOA section 2.1(a) and (e); section 3.1(a); section 6.3.7).
The MOA also proposes a 1:1 mitigation for the loss of agricultural land (MOA section 6.3.1).
The Rianda Family’s agreement to provide an Agricultural Conservation Easement, providing a 1:1 mitigation of land within the City and County’s highest priority Permanent Agricultural Edge area south of Gloria Road, is consistent with, and implements, the Agricultural Conservation polices of the City’s General Plan and the City/County MOA.
