The purpose of the City of Chula Vista urban agricultural incentive zone program is to implement AB 551, as described in Section 51040 et seq. of the California Government Code and known as the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act, to promote and foster urban agriculture. The UAIZ program is designed to increase access to healthy food by providing an incentive for property owners of eligible vacant or unimproved properties within the City of Chula Vista to utilize these properties for small-scale agricultural uses. The property owners of eligible properties may voluntarily enter into agreements with the City to participate in the UAIZ program (to promote urban agriculture enterprises) in exchange for potential reduced property tax assessments under Section 422.7 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. (Ord. 3429 § 1, 2018).
