4. Site Assessment -The Surrounding Protected Resource Land Rating <br />The Surrounding Protected Resource Land Rating is essentially an extension of the Surrounding <br />Agricultural Land Rating, and is scored in a similar manner. Protected resource lands are those <br />lands with long term use restrictions that are compatible with or supportive of agricultural uses of <br />land. Included among them are the following: <br />• Williamson Act contracted lands <br />• Publicly owned lands maintained as park, forest, or watershed resources <br />• Lands with agricultural, wildlife habitat, open space, or other natural resource easements that <br />restrict the conversion of such land to urban or industrial uses. <br />Instructions for the Surrounding Protected Resource Land Rating <br />Step 1. <br />Utilizing the same "Zone of Influence" (ZOI) area calculated for a project under the <br />Surrounding Agricultural Land Rating, calculate the percentage of the ZOI that is Protected <br />Resource Land, as defined above. <br />Step 2. <br />Assign a Surrounding Protected Resource Land score to the project according to <br />Table 7, and enter this score on Line 6 of the Final LESA Scoresheet (Table 8 ). <br />Table 7.
