AB 465 — Urban agricultural incentive zones.

Summary

The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act authorizes, under specified conditions, a city, county, or city and county to establish by ordinance an urban agriculture incentive zone for the purpose of entering into voluntary contracts with landowners to enforceably restrict the use of vacant, unimproved, or otherwise blighted lands for small-scale production of agricultural crops and animal husbandry. Existing law prohibits a city, county, or city and county from entering into a new contract or renewing an existing contract under these provisions after January 1, 2019. This bill would extend the authorization for a city, county, or city and county and a landowner to enter into those contracts to January 1, 2029. The act requires a contract entered into pursuant to these provisions to include, among other things, a provision to enforceably restrict property that is at least 0.1 acres and not more than 3 acres in size and a requirement that the entire property subject to the contract be directed toward commercial or noncommercial agricultural use. This bill would additionally require these provisions to apply to a combination of contiguous properties under a contract.
