ZC-26;4-2 and CLCA #341 Amendment (2026) Joses

Amador County is processing an amendment to California Land Conservation Act Contract 341, known as Cuneo (Joses), to expand an existing 390-acre preserve by adding 133 acres across three parcels identified as APNs 007-070-002, 007-070-004, and 007-070-007. This action is accompanied by Zone Change ZC-26;4-2, which reclassifies the land from R1A Single-family Residential and Agriculture to AG Exclusive Agriculture. The project area, located in Plymouth, California, consists of vacant land primarily used for grazing and is intended to maintain the open character of the region through the establishment of agricultural reserves under the Williamson Act. The project is governed by the Public Resources Code and has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15317 for open space contracts or easements. Administrative oversight is managed by Planner Krista Ruesel. Documentation indicates the project was filed in August 2026, with a nominal county commentary handling fee of 50.00 dollars paid, as the primary environmental document filing fees were waived due to the project's exempt status.
