In determining the value of lands that are classified and used for agriculture, or
classified as commercialized residential and used for agriculture, whether the lands
are dedicated in accordance with section 3.48.350 or not, consideration must be given to rent, productivity, nature of actual agricultural
use, the advantage or disadvantage of factors such as location, accessibility, transportation
facilities, size, shape, topography, quality of soil, water privileges, availability
of water and its cost, easements and appurtenances, and to the opinions of persons
with special knowledge of land values.
