Agricultural Zoning Protection
Antioch's zoning code lets pre-existing agricultural operations keep running but bars expanding them, and it lets qualifying farmworker employee housing count as an agricultural use rather than triggering separate zoning approval. The city has no standalone right-to-farm nuisance-immunity ordinance; protection comes from this nonconforming-use continuation clause and companion state-mandated employee-housing rules.
