However, since the 1950s, the project site has been in almost constant use for a variety of light industrial <br />manufacturing and furniture fabricating/warehousing. Underlying soils are not considered prime farmland and the project site it not <br />zoned for agricultural uses, nor has it ever been under a Williamson Act contract. There are no agricultural set canhciPatec <br />might be affected by the change in use from this site to residential uses.
