Nonsense. Agricultural preserves are covered in the Mendocino code and THEY DO NOT MENTION MARIJUANA.

Agricultural preserves are an identity established by contract that confers specific tax benefits to the land owner, not an "legal umbrella" that magically allows you to grow however much of whatever federally proscribed, controlled substance - i..e., "weed" - as you wish. Sheesh.

Sec. 22.08.010 Declaration.
The legislature of the State of California, in enacting the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 also known as the Williamson Act and subsequent amendments, found that the preservation of a maximum amount of a limited supply of prime agricultural land is necessary to the state's economic resources; that the discouragement of premature and unnecessary conversion of prime agricultural land to urban uses is a matter of public interest; that in a rapidly urbanizing society agricultural lands have a definite public value as open space; that the preservation of a maximum amount of the limited supply of agricultural land is necessary for the maintenance of the agricultural economy of the state and for an assurance of adequate, healthful and nutritious food for future residents of this state and the nation; that the agricultural work force is vital to sustaining agricultural productivity and that land within a scenic highway corridor or wildlife habitat has a value to the state because of its scenic beauty and its location adjacent to or within the view of a state scenic highway or because it is of great importance as habitat for wildlife and contributes to the preservation or enhancement thereof.
(Ord. No. 616, adopted 1970, as amended by Ord. No. 3428, adopted 1983.)
(B)
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Mendocino concurs with the findings of the California State Legislature.
(Ord. No. 616, adopted 1970.)
(C)
It is essential to the objectives of the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 also known as the Williamson Act that an orderly system be established whereby property within Mendocino County may be incorporated into agricultural preserves and the owners of said property may, by contract, further restrict the use of their property to exclusively agricultural, recreational or open space purposes.
(Ord. No. 616, adopted 1970, as amended by Ord. No. 3428, adopted 1983.)

Go ahead and read the remaining 20 or so paragraphs of Section 22 "Resource Preserves." THERE ARE NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES AND NO SPECIAL EXEMPTIONS LISTED SPECIFIC TO MARIJUANA. NONE. There is, in fact, NO MENTION OF MARIJUANA WHATSOEVER IN THE SECTION THAT CONCERNS "AGRICULTURAL PRESERVES."

They are not in violation of Mendocino code because they are on and Ag preserve.

This is complete nonsense.
