David,
clause b) takes away the automatic right to permit an ohana on ag land, by making your permit subject to an approved farm plan.
The farm plan must demonstrate a present and foreseeable need for "help" on the farm for a designated minimum number of hours a week. In other words, it's not just about producing income. The need for a laborer in residence must be established. The laborer can be one of your family. It cannot be Grandma who is 80.
A residential ohana can be and often is a true mother in law unit.
