Administrative Relief from Ag Setback

When the Planning Department determines that agricultural setbacks pursuant to El Dorado County Ordinance Code Section 17.06.150, Special Setbacks for Agricultural Protection, apply to a parcel, the property owner may apply for administrative relief from the setback through the El Dorado County Agricultural Commission.

Submittal of the completed application and the non-refundable application fee of $350.00 (payable to EDC Dept. of Ag) should be sent to the El Dorado County Department of Development Services, 2850 Fairlane Court, Building "C", Placerville, CA 95667. A planner will be assigned, and the application will be analyzed for possible administrative relief.
