Based on the preceding, the proposed request will not substantially change the essential character of the land and the present use. (G) The request will not be contrary to the General Plan and official Community Development Plan and other documents such as Design Plans. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject property is designated as both Rural and Important Agricultural Lands (ial) by the General Plan. Rural designation refers to lands that include existing subdivisions in the State Land Use Agricultural and Rural districts that have a significant residential component. Typical lot sizes vary from 9,000-square feet to two acres. These subdivisions may contain small farms, wooded areas, and open fields as well as residences. Allowable uses within these areas, with appropriate zoning, may include commercial facilities that serve the residential and agricultural uses in the area, and community and public facilities. The ial designation refers to lands with better potential for sustained high agricultural yields because of soil type, climate, topography, or other factors. As mentioned previously, the proposed use occurs entirely within an existing dwelling and will not diminish agricultural use of the subject property. The approval of the subject request would support the goals and policies of the Land Use and Economic elements of the General Plan.
