(2)The general plan of the County of Napa has designated significant amounts of land in the county as agricultural resources and agricultural watershed or open-space. A voter-approved initiative prohibits the redesignation of land designated as an agricultural resource or agricultural watershed or open-space without voter approval unless certain narrow exemptions apply.
