The project site is not on or adjacent to any farmland. Therefore, the proposed project <br />would not convert or have the potential to convert existing farmland to a non - agricultural use, and the proposed project <br />would not result in an impact on important farmlands. <br />b -e) The project site is not currently protected under the Williamson Act or zoned for agricultural uses. The site has been <br />developed since 1965 with a commercial office building. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in the <br />conversion of farmland to non - agricultural uses, and there are no impacts to agricultural resources with project <br />implementation, therefore, no mitigation is required. <br />s , <br />a.
