Approximately 300 acres, or 30% of the Project Area remain in rowcrop operations or are otherwise undeveloped and have soils suitable for agricultural use. Inaddition to row crops, portions of the Project Area are used for orchard production. Theseagricultural areas are interspersed with residential and commercial areas providing a visualbreak from development. The UC Hansen Trust Specific Plan and the Parklands Specific Planareas, located in the northwestern corner of the Project Area, account for 103 acres ofagricultural lands, but are slated to be developed with a mix of residential and commercial landuses.Developed Open Space. The Project Area includes the Fritz Huntzinger Youth SportsComplex (18 acres) and Saticoy Regional Golf Course (50 acres), which are located on WellsRoad between Darling Road and Telephone Road. Fritz Huntzinger Youth Sport Complex hasthree baseball fields, open space, and picnic tables. These developed open spaces provide greenspace views. Figure 4.1-4 shows views of these developed green spaces.b. View Corridors.

Development obstructs portions of these views.Wells Road. Wells Road is a major thoroughfare that runs between the hills to the northand south to SR 118. This road provides views of the hills and agricultural areas on the east side ofthe road at the base of the hills as one travels farther up the roadway away from SR 126.Commercial and residential developments are also visible along portions of the Wells Roadfrontage.Union Pacific Rail Corridor.
