AAC Agendas and Zoom Links
Mission Statement
The purpose of this Committee is to assist in the achievement of the objectives of the Planned Agricultural District Ordinance and the San Mateo County Local Coastal Program.
The Williamson Act
The Williamson Act is a means to restrict the uses of agricultural and open space lands to farming and ranching uses during the length of the contract period. The Williamson Act Program was also envisioned as a way for local governments to integrate the protection of open space and agricultural resources into their overall strategies for planning urban growth patterns.
To this end, three principal objectives were originally outlined.
Protection of Agricultural Resources
Preservation of Open Space Land
Promotion of Efficient Urban Growth Patterns
