SPUR supports exploring the creation of an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone in Santa Clara County, as detailed in the Februrary 10, 2015 referral memorandum from Supervisors Yeager and Wasserman. While the proposal is focused on the creation of an urban agriculture incentive zone within the unincorporated areas of the county, we encourage county staff to draft the ordinance with a structure that also facilitates simple consideration and implementation of future proposals to create urban agriculture incentive zones that may be proposed in incorporated cities, such as San Jose.
