To initiate this process, the land owner must file an application prepared by the County for that purpose with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

(b) A land owner whose property is included in an agricultural preserve and who wishes to have that property excluded from an agricultural preserve may apply to disestablish or alter the boundaries of the agricultural preserve in which the property is located to exclude the property. To initiate this process, the land owner must file an application prepared by the County for this purpose with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

(c) Any application submitted pursuant to this section must be accompanied by payment of all applicable fees established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.

(d) Within 30 days of receiving a complete application, the Planning Office will prepare a report for the Board of Supervisors analyzing whether the proposal meets the requirements of the Williamson Act and this chapter and will file this report with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Upon receipt of the report from the Planning Office, the Clerk will set the application for public hearing.

(e) No application submitted pursuant to this section will be approved by the Board of Supervisors unless it meets all of the criteria in section C13-5.
