Item Information

snippet: Contract lands should be updated periodically, Preserve lands most likely will not need to be updated. Contract lands are based on parcel information (Assessor Records) were Preserves were based on meets and bounds. This layer should be used in junction with the Agriculture Preserves layer. The initial digitization of the Preserves boundaries was not completed at an appropiate scale so the line work needs ajustments, the last modification on April 2007 was preformed to verify that contract lands were within the Preserve boundary. Hard copy files and records of Preserves and Contracts can be found in the DPLU file room. Original documentation can also be found in a file cabinet stored in DPW's workspace.

description: Agriculture Preserve Lands The California Land Conservation Act, better known as the Williamson Act, has been the states premier agricultural land protection program since its enactment in 1965. More than 16 million of the states 30 million acres of farm and ranch land are currently protected under the Williamson Act. The California Legislature passed the Williamson Act in 1965 to preserve agricultural and open space lands by discouraging premature and unnecessary conversion to urban uses. The Act creates an arrangement whereby private landowners contract with counties and cities to voluntarily restrict their land to agricultural and compatible open-space uses. The vehicle for these agreements is a rolling term 10-year contract (i.e., unless either party files a "notice of nonrenewal," the contract is automatically renewed for an additional year.). In return, restricted parcels are assessed for property tax purposes at a rate consistent with their actual use, rather then potential market value. An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into contracts with landowners. The boundary is designated by resolution of the board of supervisors (board) or city council (council) having jurisdiction. Only land located within an agricultural preserve is eligible for a Williamson Act contract. Preserves are regulated by rules and restrictions designated in the resolution to ensure that the land within the preserve is maintained for agricultural or open space use.Further information on the Williamson Act (California Land Conservation Act of 1965) can be found at http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dlrp/lca/Pages/Index.aspx.The County of San Diego Policy on Agricultural Preserves can be accessed at http://www.sandiegocounty.gov/cob/docs/policy/I-38.pdf.
