ITEM TITLE:
Title
Open Space General - Agricultural Conservation Application #3267 - Ruth & Frank III Gonzales and Michelle Weaver
body
DEPARTMENT: Assessor
ORIGINATOR: Andie Whitewing
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 3/24/25
PURPOSE: Ongoing compliance with RCW 84.34, enacted by the state legislature to “maintain, preserve, conserve and otherwise continue in existence adequate open space lands for the production of food, fiber and forest crops, and to assure the use and enjoyment of natural resources and scenic beauty for the economic and social well-being of the state and its citizens” and that “assessment practices must be so designed as to permit the continued availability of open space lands for these purposes.”
BACKGROUND: Applicants no longer met the agricultural income requirements for the Open Space Farm & Agriculture classification and seek reclassification under Open Space General - Agricultural Conservation for the full 19.84 acres for which application has been made. The current use of the subject property conforms to the requirements of the Open Space General - Agricultural Conservation classification for assessment purposes. As applicant submitted application in 2023, expedited processing is requested due to delays in routing. Please note that since the time of application, the ownership of this parcel has changed from Valley Gem Farms, Inc to Ruth Gonzales and Frank Gonzales III & Michelle Weaver. Consequently, the names of the new owners are included in the title of this ECAF.
