(2)  Avoid diminution in value of private agricultural property which is used in agricultural production or which may potentially be used in agricultural production.

(3)  Expedite a decision by the entity in cases in which a delay of the decision will substantially interfere with the use or value of private agricultural property rights affected by the provisions of this Part.

(4)  Avoid unnecessary delays in compensating owners of private agricultural property when diminution in value occurs by governmental action.
