"During the county's last
general plan update in 1982, officials changed
the property's zoning from one-acre parcels to
one that only allows agricultural uses on
40-acre minimum parcels. Now, owners are asking
that the zoning be changed back to allow for
parcels as small as one acre and as large as 10
acres."
