(a) 
Where non-agricultural land uses, especially residential development, extend into agricultural areas, or locate in the vicinity of agricultural land, agricultural operations may be the subject of nuisance complaints. Such complaints may cause the curtailment of agricultural operations, and discourage investments for the improvement of agricultural land. This is detrimental to the economic viability of the agricultural industry of the County. It is the purpose and intent of this Chapter to prevent the loss to the County of its agricultural resources.
(b) 
It is the declared policy of this County to conserve, enhance and encourage agricultural operations within the County, and to minimize potential conflict between agricultural and non-agricultural land uses within the County.
(c) 
This policy can best be implemented by educating residents as to the laws protecting agricultural operations from conflicts with non-agricultural uses, and by notifying owners and users of real property in the County of inherent potential problems associated with the ownership and/or use of real property located adjacent to or in the vicinity of agricultural operations, including, but not limited to, noise, odors, dust, chemicals, smoke and extended hours of operation which may accompany such agricultural operations. It is intended that through the use of such notice owners and users of real property within the County will better understand the impact of living near agricultural operations and be prepared to accept such problems as the natural result of living on or near agricultural lands.
No agricultural operation, conducted or maintained for commercial purposes, and in a manner consistent with the proper and accepted customs and standards established and followed by similar agricultural operations in the same locality, shall be or become a nuisance, private or public, due to any changed condition in or about the locality, after the same has been in operation for more than three years if it was not a nuisance at the time it began.
(a) 
Upon any transfer by sale, exchange, installment land sale contract, as defined in section 2985 of the California Civil Code, lease with an option to purchase, any other option to purchase, or ground lease coupled with improvements, of real property, or residential stock cooperative, improved with or consisting of not less than one nor more than four dwelling units, the transferor shall deliver to the prospective transferee the written statement required by subsection (b) of this section.
