PUD-74 Environmental Checklist luminosity so as not to add to "night sky pollution." Therefore, this would be aless- than-significant-impact. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Environmental Setting The project site was once a portion of a 92-acre farm which ceased operation approximately 10 years ago. Approximately 69 acres of the 92-acre farm site has since been developed with 175 single-family homes, 16 duets, a 172-unit senior apartment project, and achurch/day care facility. Two existing farmhouses along Mohr Avenue were also retained. The subject 23-acre parcel was rezoned in 2002 for a public school or residential housing. The project site is designated as "Grazing Land" by the California Department of Conservations. "Grazing Land" is land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. Standards of Significance For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project would: • Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide hnportance to non-agricultural uses; • Conflict with or result in the cancellation of a Williamson Act contract; • Adversely affect agricultural production. Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than Significant With Mitigation Significant No Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Agricultural Resources In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ^ ^ ^ ^X Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepaed pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, ^ ^ ^ ^X or a Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment ^ ^ ^
