A. Agricultural Use Defined. Subject to subsection (B) of this section, agricultural use(s) shall mean farming in all its branches including, but not limited to, the cultivation and tillage of soil, the production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any agricultural or horticultural products, the raising of livestock, bees, fur-bearing animals, dairy-producing animals, poultry, agricultural education, the sale of produce through field retail stands or farm stands as defined by Article 5 (commencing with Section 47030) of Chapter 10.5 of Division 17 of the Food and Agriculture Code, and any practices performed by a farmer or on a farm as incidental to or in conjunction with farm operations. The term “agricultural use” does not include timber production. The production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of marijuana shall be prohibited in the UAIZ.
B. Zoning and Municipal Code Limitations on Agricultural Use(s)/UAIZ.
1. Neither the creation of the urban agricultural incentive zone nor the execution of any UAIZ contract shall in any way expand the allowable uses of any property under the City’s existing land use zoning regulations or ordinances. Eligible land uses under the UAIZ program may include any agricultural land uses that are permitted or conditionally permitted, but are subject to limitations set forth in this chapter, by AB 551, by the Chula Vista Municipal Code, including, but not limited to, CVMC Title 6 (Animals) and Chapter 19.20 CVMC (Agricultural Zone), or by the terms and conditions set forth in the UAIZ contract. Conditional use permits may be required by the City Manager.
2. CVMC 19.16.030 provides that lot sizes may not be less than one acre for crop and tree farming, as defined in Chapter 19.16 CVMC. Notwithstanding the aforementioned one-acre limitation, a lot size may be less than one acre, but not less than one-tenth of an acre, when a UAIZ contract is entered into pursuant to CMVC 19.100.040. (Ord. 3429 § 1, 2018).
