Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non -agriculture use? B. Conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a Williamson Contract? C. Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in loss of Farmland, to non -agriculture use? Less Than Significant Impact According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site is designated as potential Prime Farmlands. To determine the significance of the agricultural resources on the project site, the California Department of Conservation Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) was prepared. The LESA is a point -based analysis that rates the value of agricultural land resources. The rating is determined by measuring two separate sets of factors. The first set, Land Evaluation, includes factors that measure the inherent soil -based qualities of land as they relate to agricultural suitability. The second set, Site Assessment, includes factors that are intended to measure social, economic and geographic factors that also contribute to the overall value of agricultural land. 0
