Right-to-Farm Notice
If a subdivision is at any point within three hundred feet of an AE (Exclusive Agriculture), AL (Limited
Agriculture), TPZ (Timberland Preserve) or RC (Resource Conservation) Zone District, the approval of the tentative and final subdivision map shall be conditional upon the recordation with the Fresno County recorder of a notice in substantially the following form:
FRESNO COUNTY RIGHT-TO-FARM NOTICE
It is the declared policy of Fresno County to preserve, protect, and encourage development of its
agricultural land and industries for the production of food and other agricultural products. Residents of
property in or near agricultural districts should be prepared to accept the inconveniences and discomfort
associated with normal farm activities. Consistent with this policy, California Civil Code 3482.5 (right-to-farm law) provides that an agricultural pursuit, as defined, maintained for commercial uses shall not be
or become a nuisance due to a changed condition in a locality after such agricultural pursuit has been in
operation for three years.
