The property is in the transition buffer zone, is not in a Critical Resource Area, it
is in a holding zone for demonstrated need, has low agricultural potential, there
is no Department of Ecology permit for irrigation, only 5,000 gallons per day or
1/2 acre could be watered, allowing the zone change would require a proper
platting process rather than segregations.
