El Dorado County California Right to Farm
In 1988 El Dorado County passed the Right to Farm ordinance to protect the local agriculture.
From the Counties website: El Dorado County has declared that it wishes to conserve, protect, and encourage agricultural operations within the county.
However, when residential development occurs next to areas of agricultural land, agricultural operations sometimes become the subject of nuisance complaints.
The County has adopted a Right to Farm Ordinance to define and limit cases in which agricultural operations may be considered a nuisance.
It includes a disclosure notice to prospective property buyers that notifies them that if the property they are purchasing is in the vicinity of agricultural land, they may be subjected to certain inconveniences associated with normal agricultural operations and that special agricultural setbacks may be required on the property.
"Agricultural land" means those lands of the county which are zoned as A (agriculture), AE (exclusive agriculture), AP (agricultural preserve), PA (planned agriculture), SA (select agriculture), RA-20, RA-40, RA-60, RA-80, RA-160 (residential agriculture), and TPZ (timberland preservation zone).
This means when you buy a Home with acreage you should be aware that your neighbors my have live stock, make dust, odors and noise.
This ordinance has protected the Rural lifestyle and beauty of the County.
Because of the ordinance small family farms sell their produce in weekly Farmers Markets and large local events like Apple Hills Fall Harvest Festival and the Fall wine Grape Crush.
So don't be shy, grab the kids and head out this weekend for a wonderful time.
