RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH AN AGRICULTURAL PRESERVE

WITHIN SAN MATEO COUNTY AND TO AUTHORIZE

EXECUTION OF LAND CONSERVATION CONTRACT

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that:

WHEREAS, Cascade Ranch Historic Farm is the owner of certain land in the County of San Mateo used for agricultural purposes within the concept of the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, and has requested to have said land designated as an Agricultural Preserve, and has submitted such request with a properly executed contract form heretofore approved by this Board, for execution by this Board; and

WHEREAS, the County of San Mateo is authorized to establish Agricultural Preserves by the California Land Conservation Act; and

WHEREAS, all procedural requirements of the Land Conservation Act and Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County Resolution No. 44396 have been followed; and

WHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors does hereby establish the boundaries of the property to be included within this Preserve as set forth in EXHIBIT “A”; and

WHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors, having received and reviewed the report of the Planning Commission as to the request to establish that this Preserve is consistent with the General Plan of San Mateo County; and

WHEREAS, this Board deems it desirable to enter into land conservation contracts, under the provisions of the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, with owners of land which is appropriately used for agriculture or other purposes authorized by said Act, or purposes left within the discretion of the Board of Supervisors under the terms of the Act; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors does hereby establish the policy and rules which will govern the administration of this Preserve, to wit:

1.

Establishment, Disestablishment, Alterations. The procedures set forth in Resolution No. 44396 of the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County shall govern the establishment, disestablishment and alteration of the boundaries of this Preserve. The procedures in said Resolution are incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth.

2.

Policy. This Board recognizes that:

a.

The preservation of a maximum amount of the limited supply of agricultural land is necessary for the conservation of the State’s economic resources, and is necessary not only for the maintenance of the agricultural economy of the State, but also for the assurance of adequate, healthful and nutritious food for future residents of this State and Nation.

b.

The discouragement of premature and unnecessary conversion of agricultural and open space lands to urban uses is a matter of public interest, and will be of benefit to urban dwellers themselves in that it will discourage discontiguous urban development patterns which unnecessarily increase the costs of community services to community residents.

c.

In a rapidly urbanizing society, agricultural and other open space lands have a definite public value as open space, and the preservation in agricultural production of such lands, the use of which may be limited under the provisions of the Williamson Act, constitutes an important physical, social, aesthetic, and economic asset to existing or pending urban or metropolitan developments.

d.

Land within a Scenic Highway Corridor or Wildlife Habitat Area, as defined in the Williamson Act, has a value to the State because of its scenic beauty and its location adjacent to or within view of the State Scenic Highway, or because it is of great importance as habitat for wildlife and contributes to the preservation or enhancement thereof.

e.

Within this Preserve, the lands shall be used only for the commercial production of agricultural commodities and open space and other compatible uses herein designated.

f.

Property owners executing a contract for property within this Preserve should understand that the Board of Supervisors intends that the contract will run for the full term provided therein.

3.

Permitted Agricultural Uses. Permitted agricultural uses are defined in EXHIBIT “B” hereto, which is incorporated herein and made a part of this Resolution.

4.

Compatible Uses. Compatible uses are defined in EXHIBIT “C” hereto, which is incorporated herein and made a part of this Resolution.

5.

Limitation on Uses. If a contract is entered into, incorporating the agricultural and compatible uses specified in EXHIBITS “B” and “C” hereto, the property owner shall be limited to said uses even though the Zoning Ordinance or other codes, ordinances or regulations authorize different uses. In the event other codes, ordinances or regulations are or should become more restrictive than the uses authorized by the contract, the codes, ordinances or regulations shall prevail.

6.

Continuation of Preserve. Pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act, this Preserve shall continue in full effect following annexation, incorporation or disincorporation of the land described in EXHIBIT “A”, except as provided for in Subsection 51243(b) of the Government Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED as follows:

1.

That the area of San Mateo County described in EXHIBIT “A” of this Resolution is hereby designated and established as an Agricultural Preserve within the meaning of and pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, subject to the policy and rules specified herein.

2.

That the form of the Land Conservation Contract presented to this Board be, and the same is hereby, approved.

3.

That the Chair of this Board of Supervisors is hereby authorized and directed to execute said contract for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest her signature hereto.

4.

That a copy of this Resolution, and a Map of the property described in EXHIBIT “A” hereof, be filed with the County Recorder of San Mateo for said County Recorder and Director of Agriculture, State of California, and that said Resolution and Map be kept current by the County of San Mateo for said County Recorder and Director of Agriculture.
