| Right
to Farm Ordinance
El Dorado County has declared
that it wishes to conserve, protect, and encourage agricultural
operations within the county. However, when residential development
occurs next to areas of agricultural land, agricultural operations
sometimes become the subject of nuisance complaints. The County
has adopted a Right to Farm Ordinance to define and limit cases
in which agricultural operations may be considered a nuisance. It
includes a disclosure notice to prospective property buyers that
notifies them that if the property they are purchasing is in the
vicinity of agricultural land, they may be subjected to certain
inconveniences associated with normal agricultural operations and
that special agricultural setbacks may be required on the property.
