(A) Each agricultural preserve must contain at least 100 contiguous acres of land unless the City Council finds that a smaller preserve is necessary due to the unique characteristics of the agricultural enterprises in the area and that such preserve is consistent with the city's general plan and zoning regulations.
(B) The use of any land within an agricultural preserve that is subject to a land conservation contract must be restricted by zoning that is compatible with the agricultural, open space or recreational use. Such zoning restrictions include appropriate minimum parcel sizes consistent with the Act and this chapter.
(C) All agricultural preserves must comply with the city's general plan and zoning regulations.
