C. On January 7, 2013, the City and CCAN entered into the Lease for the purpose of
putting the majority of the Premises into active sustainable agricultural use, while permitting
development of a portion of the Premises, not to exceed the percentage allowable per zoning
regulations, for facilities for the aggregation, light processing and distribution of agricultural products
