Board hears requests to reissue Lands'Connect contracts for multiple parcels, staff recommends CEQA exemption

Mar 3, 2026

Planning staff presented requests to remove portions of existing Lands'Connect contracts and create new preserves and contracts (including a proposed 706-acre preserve); staff recommended CEQA exemptions and resolutions amending preserves and reissuing contracts; hearings closed with items to return for board action.

The full story

Bernadette, assistant associate planner, summarized two separate applications to amend existing Lands'Connect contracts: one for an 89-acre parcel south and east of Greenview on Eller Lane and another requesting two separate contracts for property near McDowell to support strawberry production and livestock grazing. Staff found the parcels are inside ag preserves that require amendment and recommended determining the projects exempt from CEQA and adopting resolutions to amend preserves and reissue contracts.
