(1) The purpose of this chapter is to regulate development on and adjacent to designated farmlands in order to conserve farmland resources and ensure compatibility between farmlands and adjacent uses. This chapter is intended to assure that the use of lands adjacent to designated farmland does not interfere with the continued use, in the accustomed manner, of the designated farmland for the production of food and agricultural products. The chapter establishes that farm activities conducted on designated farmland are recognized as accepted activities. A further purpose is to encourage a good neighbor relationship between farmland owners and residential and other landowners. The chapter promotes greater awareness of farming activities through notification regarding farm activities to owners of land in, adjacent to, and near designated farmlands. (2) The provisions of this chapter shall apply to: (a) Lands designated as farmland; (b) Lands adjacent to or within 1,300 feet of lands designated farmland; and (c) Agricultural activities as defined in chapter 30.91A SCC. (Added by Amended Ord. 02-064, Dec. 9, 2002, Eff date Feb. 1, 2003). ---------------------------------------------- Agricultural Lands Disclosure Buffer ---------------------------------------------- Snohomish County Code (SCC): 30.32B.220 Disclosure text.
