Agricultural Lands
Planning Manager Charlene Anderson said the Growth Management Act had said that the City
needed to designate agricultural lands that are not characterized by urban growth and that have long
term significance for the commercial production of food or other AG products. And if the City chose
to designate AG lands with AG Resource land,then the City also needed to have a preservation
program in effect. Ms. Anderson discussed the two kinds of preservation programs: A Purchase of
Development Rights, referred to as a PDR, or a Transfer of Development Rights, referred to as a
TDR. Staff divided the study into three areas, each with their own characteristics: the Northern Study
Area, the Central Area, and the Southern Area. The Land Use and Planning Board initially
considered five options and staff came back with three different options that encompassed all of the
issues. Option "A" lets everything stay as AG lands. Option"C"was to not designate any lands as
agricultural resource lands per the GMA. Option "B"was in the middle. Planner Gloria Gould-
Wessen discussed the differences in the available options, and said Option"B"was staff s
recommended option.
Leona Orr said that the issue would come before a special Planning Committee Meeting on May'7`h
Ms. Anderson said staff would notify parties of interest of that meeting.
. The workshop adjourned at 6:10 PM.
