Development of additional wineries and other wine-country uses; <br /> <br /> 3. Justification for and collection of agricultural mitigation fees; <br /> <br /> 4. Formation of a land trust to protect productive and potentially productive agricultural lands; <br /> <br /> 5. Development of ongoing funding to promote the South Livemore Valley as a recognized wine <br /> region; and <br /> <br /> 6. Removal of housing speculation value from productive and potentially productive agricultural <br /> land. <br /> <br /> <br />
