1. It is the declared policy of this county to enhance and encourage agricultural operations within the county. It is the further intent of this county to provide to the residents of this county proper notification of the county’s recognition and support through this chapter of those persons and/or entities’ rights to farm.
2. Where nonagricultural land uses extend into agricultural areas or exist side by side, agricultural operations are frequently the subject of nuisance complaints and are forced to cease or curtail operations. Such actions discourage investments in farm improvements to the detriment of adjacent agricultural uses and the economic viability of the county’s agricultural industry as a whole. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to reduce the loss to the county of its agricultural resources by limiting the circumstances under which agricultural operations may be considered a nuisance. This chapter is not to be construed as in any way modifying or abridging state law as set out in the California Civil Code, Health and Safety Code, Fish and Game Code, Food and Agricultural Code, Division 7 of the Water Code, or any other applicable provision of state law relative to nuisances, rather it is only to be utilized in the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this code and county regulations.
3. An additional purpose of this chapter is to promote a good neighbor policy between agricultural and nonagricultural property owners by advising purchasers and users of property adjacent to or near agricultural operations of the inherent potential problems associated with such purchases or residence, including but not limited to the noises, odors, dust and chemicals, smoke and hours of operation that may accompany agricultural operations and be prepared to accept attendant conditions as the natural result of living in or near rural areas. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

No agricultural activity, operation or facility or appurtenances thereof, conducted or maintained for commercial purposes, and in a manner consistent with proper accepted customs and standards and with all present or future chapters of this code, as established and followed by similar agricultural operations, shall be or become a nuisance, public or private, pursuant to this code, if it was not a nuisance when it began. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The following statement shall be signed and recorded at the time and in the manner required by subsection B of this section:

1. “If your real property is adjacent to property used for agricultural operations or included within an area zoned for agricultural purposes, you may be subject to inconveniences or discomforts arising from such operations, including but not limited to noise, odors, fumes, dust, the operation of machinery of any kind during any twenty-four-hour period (including aircraft), the storage and disposal of manure and the application and spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendments and pesticides.
2. Glenn County has determined that the use of real property for agricultural operations is a high priority and favored use to the county and will not consider to be a nuisance those inconveniences or discomforts arising from agricultural operations if such operations are consistent with accepted customs and standards.”
3. The statement set forth in subsection A of this section shall be used under the following circumstances and in the following manners:
   1. Upon transfer of real property by sale, exchange, installment land sale contract, lease with an option to purchase, or other option to purchase, or ground lease coupled with improvements with dwelling units, the transferor shall require that the agricultural statement of acknowledgment for residential development in the form set forth in Section 15.58.040 of this chapter be signed by the purchaser and recorded in the county recorder’s office in conjunction with the deed conveying the real property;
   2. Upon the issuance of a discretionary development permit including but not limited to subdivision maps and use permits, for use on or adjacent to lands zoned for agricultural operations. The discretionary development permit shall include a condition that the owners of the property and the party seeking the discretionary permit shall be required to sign an agricultural statement of acknowledgment for residential development in the form set forth in Section 15.58.040 of this chapter which form shall then be recorded in the county recorder’s office.
4. Resolution of disputes
5. Should any controversy arise regarding any inconveniences or discomforts occasioned by agricultural operations, including but not limited to noises, odors, fumes, smoke, dust, traffic, the operation of machinery of any kind during any twenty-four-hour period (including aircraft), the storage and disposal of manure and the application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendments and pesticides, the parties may submit the controversy to the agricultural grievance committee as set forth below in an attempt to resolve the matter prior to the filing of any court action:
   1. Any controversy between the parties shall be submitted to the agricultural grievance committee as established in Section 15.58.060 of this chapter within thirty days of the date of the occurrence of the particular activity giving rise to the controversy or of the date a party became aware of the occurrence;
   2. The county recognizes the value and importance of full discussion and complete presentation and agreement concerning all pertinent facts in order to eliminate any misunderstandings;
   3. The controversy shall be presented to the committee by written request of one of the parties within the time limits specified. The request shall be delivered to the committee at the office of the Glenn County agricultural commission in Willows. Thereafter the committee may investigate the facts of the controversy, but must, within thirty days, hold a meeting to consider the merits of the matter and within twenty days of the meeting must render a written decision to the parties. At the time of the meeting both parties shall have an opportunity to present what each considers to be pertinent facts;
   4. The decision of the committee shall not be binding. If, however, one of the parties is not satisfied with the committee decision, upon agreement of both parties, the matter may be submitted to binding arbitration according to the procedures set forth in subsection E of this section. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The controversy between the parties shall be submitted to arbitration upon the written agreement of both parties and any decision resulting therefrom shall be binding upon both parties.

The parties shall each appoint one person to hear and determine the dispute. If these two arbitrators cannot agree, then the two arbitrators shall choose a third impartial arbitrator who shall make the decision. The cost of the arbitration shall be borne by the losing party or in such proportions as the arbitrators shall decide. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

Section 15.58.030 of this chapter requires this acknowledgment to be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit, transfer of real property by sale, exchange, installment land sale contract, lease with an option to purchase or other option to purchase, or ground lease coupled with improvements with dwelling units, the issuance of a discretionary permit including but not limited to subdivision permits and use permits, for use on or adjacent to lands zoned for agricultural operations.

“If your real property is adjacent to property used for agricultural operations or included within an area zoned for agricultural purposes, you may be subject to inconveniences or discomforts arising from such operations, including but not limited to noise, odors, fumes, dust, the operation of machinery of any kind during any 24-hour period (including aircraft), the storage and disposal of manure and the application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendments and pesticides. Glenn County has determined that the use of real property for agricultural operations is a high priority and favored use to the county and will not consider to be a nuisance those inconveniences or discomforts arising from agricultural operations, if such operations are consistent with accepted customs and standards.

   2. Provide an incentive of equivalent financial value. The increase in density must be at least twenty-five percent (25%) over the maximum density authorized by the County General Plan;
2. In order to qualify for this bonus, a housing project must consist of five or more dwelling units and meet one or more of the following criteria;
   1. At least twenty (20) percent of the total units allowed by the maximum permitted density are designated for lower-income households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code; or

This will include, but not be limited to, capital costs, equity investment, debt service, projected revenues, operating expenses, or other information requested by the County.
2. The County shall, process a completed written proposal along with the appropriate development application and shall notify the developer/property owner in writing of whether it shall:
   1. Grant a density bonus; and

   3. Provide other incentives of equal financial value. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The County may grant additional concessions or incentives to the developer/property owner if it is found that the project with the proposed lower-income units would not be feasible without said incentives. Such concessions could include:

1. A modification of development standards pertaining to building height, open space, lot-size requirements, street access, off-street parking, landscaping, fencing, or off-site improvements.
2. Approval of mixed-use zoning within the housing development, such as allowing nonresidential use along with residential. Such allowance shall only be permitted if it is consistent with the County General Plan. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

In order for a developer/property owner to participate in the program and be eligible for the incentives, the following requirements must be met:

1. The developer/property owner shall set aside each month, at the completion of the project, the number of units which are designated for lower- or very low-income households. A unit will be counted toward meeting the set-aside requirement if it is either vacant or occupied by a lower- or very low-income tenant or a senior citizen.
2. The target units must be compatible in floor plan, furnishings, and exterior design to nondesignated units. Further, the target units must be reasonably dispersed throughout the development.
3. The time period of availability to the intended population shall be: with additional incentive, thirty (30) years; without additional incentive, ten (10) years.
4. The maximum allowable rents to comply with the law are determined by a formula designed by the State Department of Housing and Community Development based on the area medium income.
5. Houses for sale must be affordable to lower- or very low-income households as defined by income limits established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
6. The developer/property owner must provide to the planning authority staff a yearly accounting of the total units occupied, the total units vacant, the total units occupied by lower- or very low-income households, and the total by which the units set aside fell short of the required number of units (default units).

8. In addition to the findings required for the approval of discretionary land use permits support of a density bonus by the director and the approval of the bonus by the applicable approval body shall also require the following special findings:
   1. The project will not be a hazard or nuisance to the community at large or establish a use or development inconsistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan or applicable community plan.
   2. The number of dwellings approved by the land use permit can be accommodated by existing and planned infrastructure capacities.
   3. Adequate evidence exists to indicate that the development of the property in compliance with the permit will result in the provision of affordable housing in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the Glenn County Code.
   4. If the County does not grant at least one financial concession or incentive as defined in California Government Code Section 65915 in addition to the density bonus, that the additional concession or incentive is not necessary in order to provide for affordable housing costs as defined in the California Health and Safety Code, Section 50052.5 or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in California Government Code Section 65915(C).

If a portion or all of a parcel as shown on the latest county equalized assessment roll abuts an existing county road and such parcel is being divided, the applicant shall make an irrevocable offer of dedication of sufficient right-of-way to enable the abutting section of road to be constructed to the standards set forth in this chapter. The applicant shall improve the following sections of the abutting road to comply with these standards and the standard drawings and typical cross-sections adopted by the board of supervisors:
   1. Those sections of any existing county road which abut a parcel containing less than four and one quarter net acres within the subdivision;
   2. Those sections of any existing county road which abut the subdivision if the land is zoned industrial or commercial;
   3. Those sections of any county road which abut the subdivision if the planning commission determines that such improvements are necessary, as a result of increased density, to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
2. Such improvements shall be subject to the following conditions:
   1. If the parcel abuts both sides of the county road, the improvements shall be made to the full width of the road. If such parcel abuts one side only, the improvements shall be made to the abutting one-half width of the road except as hereinafter provided;
   2. If the grade of the existing roadway is such that the new pavement can join the existing pavement and not vary from the approved cross-slope shown in the drawings by two percent for the length of the improvement, the improvement shall consist of reconstructing the abutting one-half width or, if it is deemed structurally adequate by the public works director, widening the existing pavement. If the existing paved surface is such that due to its shape, the pavement cannot join within the above limits of cross-slope and/or if it is desired by the developer or required by the public works director to change the grade of the existing roadway, the entire roadway shall be reconstructed. The public works director may grant an exception to the cross-slope requirement set forth above if in his or her opinion it will not create ponding, drainage problems, or a safety hazard;
   3. If land abutting existing substandard streets or roads is being subdivided and ingress and egress to the lots within the subdivision is not required from the street or road, the applicant shall dedicate additional right-of-way and dedicate reserve strips of land to control access from the lots;
   4. If the only access to land being subdivided is an existing substandard street or road system, and it is expected that this substandard street or road will carry principally vehicular traffic generated by the proposed subdivision, the planning commission may determine that the applicant shall pay the cost of or enter into an agreement to pay the cost of acquisition of off-site right-of-way pursuant to Section 66462.5 of the Subdivision Map Act;
   5. At the time the improvements are to be made, the applicant may request the public works director to require the applicant to defer the construction of such improvements by agreement in lieu of requiring the immediate construction thereof. The public works director may require deferment of the construction requirements only if he or she finds one or more of the following to be true:
      1. The improvements will not be beneficial or in the best interest of the county at the time the improvements are to be made;
      2. The improvements will cause safety hazards if constructed at the time required by the planning commission. For purposes of this paragraph transitions are deemed not to be safety hazards;
      3. The specific terrain, run-off, and/or other conditions in the area require deferment of the improvements.
      The public works director shall make a written determination, within twenty days after submission of a written request by the applicant, as to whether the construction of improvements shall be deferred. The public works director may require plans in sufficient detail to enable him or her to make that determination. Any such decision may be appealed to the board of supervisors by submitting a notice of such appeal and the appropriate fee to the clerk of the board of supervisors within ten days after a copy of the written determination is mailed to the applicant;
   6. At any time after entering into a deferred improvement agreement, a applicant or his or her successor in interest may request cancellation of the agreement by paying to the county a sum of money equal to not more than the estimated cost of making the improvements. The developer’s engineer shall provide the estimate subject to the approval of the public works director. The board of supervisors shall adopt by resolution a schedule of costs for such cancellations.
      (Ord. 1269 § 10, 2018; Ord. 1200 § 3, 2008; Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The planning commission may approve an exception from these standards based on a modified design if the resulting subdivision would be a substantial improvement over that which could have been developed by following these standards. A request for an exception from these standards shall accompany the tentative map, together with the substantiating evidence that such exception will improve the subdivision. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

1. The applicant shall improve, with channelized intersections, that is, one with lanes marked with paint or physical dividers, on county roads where any of the following conditions exist:
   1. The street intersects at a point of restricted sight distance which requires a reduction in the normal driving speed on the major street or highway;
   2. The intersecting street serves more than one hundred lots as sole access;
   3. It is anticipated that the street will generate traffic in excess of one thousand vehicles per day.
2. The channelized intersection shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of the California Department of Transportation, Highway Design Manual, and the following width of turning lanes requirements:

2. An admonishment in substantially the following form shall be shown on the face of the final map or parcel map and included in deeds prior to recording for subdivisions in which lots or parcels are served by a private road:
   Lots or parcels 1, 2, 3, etc....are served by a private road. Maintenance of said road is not the responsibility of Glenn County. Owners of said lots or parcels are hereby advised that they and/or others are solely responsible for maintenance of this road.
3. The board of supervisors may refuse to accept any offer of dedication until such time as it is determined that the portion of the street or road dedicated serves a public purpose or the portion of the street or road no longer lies within property under one ownership and does not continue through such ownership or end touching property of another. The county will refuse to accept any private road until such time as the road has been constructed in accordance with current county road standards for the zone in which the road is located. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The alignment of street extensions shall connect with existing streets by continuation of the centerlines or by adjustments by curves and shall be in general conformity with plans that the director determines to be the most advantageous development of the area in which the subdivision lies. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

The location of streets shall be such that intersections are spaced not less than two hundred feet apart on secondary streets and five hundred feet apart on major streets. All streets shall be required to intersect one another at an angle as near to a right angle as is practicable in each case. “Tee” type intersections are preferred except at arterial intersections. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

On all street, road and highway intersections, the property line at each block corner shall be rounded with a curve having a radius of not less than twenty feet. In any case, a greater curve radius may be required if streets or alleys intersect other than at right angles. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

All other specifications for intersections shall be as shown on the standard drawings adopted by the board of supervisors. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)
