The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES that:
On January 19, 1971, t I e Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 71/36,
which authorized the Chairman of the Board to execute Land Conservation Contract No. 9-
71 with Edward C. Rasmussen, covering 609.53 acres near Highland Road (Tassajara
area) involving APN 205-040-002 and 205-060-002 (County File: RZ#1484), and said
contract was subsequently executed by the Board Chair and then recorded with the County
Recorder on February 25, 1971.
On December 11, 1991, a Notice of Non-Renewal was filed with the County on APN
205-060-002, which subsequently removed approximately 233 acres from Land
Conservation Contract No. 9-71 ten years later on February 2, 2002.
On December 8, 1998, the County Planning Commission approved a minor
subdivision (County File: MS#96-0014)dividing APN 205-040-002 into four new parcels of
87, 102.88, 87.69, and 98.53 acres, respectively.
On February 2, 2005, Gordon R. and Karen Rasmussen,the current owners of APN
205-040-002 filed an application with the Community Development'Department requesting
to rescind Land Conservation Contract No. AP 9-71 affecting APN 205-040-002 and to
enter into a new Land Conservation Contract to reflect the agricultural or compatible uses,
agricultural related structures, and residences that are identified for the four new parcels
created under approved minor subdivision (County File: MS#96-0014)affecting APN 205-
040-002 .
RESOLVED that, pursuant to Section 66474.4 of the California Government Code,
the Board of Supervisors finds that the approved minor subdivision affecting land subject to
the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act)would neither result in the
creation of parcels too small tolsustain agricultural use of the land nor result in residential
development not incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the land.
RESOLVED that, pursuant to Section 51254 of the California Government Code,the
Board of Supervisors RESCINDS Land Conservation Contract No. 9-71 as it affects the
376 acres comprising APN 205-040-002, now subdivided into four parcels under County
File: MS#96-0016, and AUTHORIZES the Board Chair to execute a new contract, Land

RESOLUTION NO. 2005/790

SUBJECT: LAND CONSERVATION CONTRACT, AP#05-0001 )
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES that:
1. Parties. BY THIS CONTRACT, made and entered into the 20"' day of December,
2005,
Gordon R. and Karen Rasmussen
hereinafter referred to as "OWNER,"and the County of Contra Costa,a political subdivision of the
State of California,hereinafter referred to as"COUNTY,"do mutually agree and promise as follows:
2. Property Description. Owner possesses certain real property located within the
County, which property is presently devoted to agricultural and compatible uses and is particularly
described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part of this contract.
3. Purpose. Both Owner and County desire to limit the use of said property to
agricultural uses and to compatible uses specified in this agreement in order to discourage premature
and unnecessary conversion of such lands from agricultural uses, recognizing that such land has
definite public value as open space and that the preservation of such land in agricultural production
constitutes an important physical, social, aesthetics and economic asset to County to maintain the
agricultural economy of County and the State of California.
4. Intent of Parties: Enforceable Restriction. Both Owner and County intend that the
term, conditions and restrictionsi of this Contract be in accordance with the California Land
Conservation Act of 1965,as amended,so as to be an enforceable restriction under the provisions of
Division 1,Part 2,Chapter 3,Article 1.5 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code(Rev.&Tax
Code § 421 et. seq.).
5. Intent of Parties: Effect on Property Value. It is the intent of the County and Owner
that this Contract is conditioned upon the continued existence of legislation implementing Article
XIII, § 8 of the California Constitution so the effect of the terms, conditions and restrictions of the
Contract on property values for taxation purposes is substantially as favorable to Owner as the
legislation existing on the last renewal date.
6. Governins Statutes and Ordinances. This Contract is made and entered into pursuant
to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Chapter 7 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the
California Government Code commencing with Section 51200). This Contract further is made
pursuant to and subject to Contra Costa County Ordinance Code,Chapter 84-42 and Chapters 810-2
through 810-4,and Resolutions of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Numbers 68/635
and 2005/487.

7. Land Use Restrictions. During the term of this Contract or any renewals thereof,the
above described land shall not be used for any purpose, other than the production of food and fiber
and compatible uses as listed in Contra Costa County Ordinance Code Chapter 84-42, which is
hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein;provided,however,that such additional
agricultural or compatible uses as are set forth in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and is hereby
incorporated by reference, shall also be permitted subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein. In case of conflict or inconsistency between the uses allowed in this Contract and those
specified in said zoning ordinance, the provisions of the Contract as set forth in Exhibit B shall
prevail.
8. Modification of Restrictions. The Board of Supervisors of County may from time to
time and during the term of this Contract or any extensions thereof, by amendment to Contra Costa
County Ordinance Code Chapter 84-42, add to those uses listed in said ordinance. Such additional
uses shall be limited to commercial agriculture and compatible uses and be subject to the density
restrictions of Government Code § 51220.5. Said board shall not eliminate,without written consent
of the Owner or his successors or assigns, a compatible use during the term of this Contract or any
renewals thereof.
9. Term and Renewal. This Contract shall be effective commencing on the last day of
December 2005, and shall remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years therefrom.
This Contract shall be automatically renewed and its terms extended for a period of
one (1) year on the last day of December of each succeeding year during the term hereof, unless
notice of non-renewal is given in the manner provided by section 51245 of the Government Code.
At all times during the continuance of this Contract, as from time to time renewed,there shall be a
ten (10) year term of restriction unless notice of non-renewal is given in the manner provided by
Section 51245 of the Government Code. Under no circumstances shall a notice of renewal be
required of either party to effectuate the automatic renewal of this paragraph.
10. Cancellation. (a) Except as provided in Section 11, the provisions of this Contract
whereby Owner agrees to restrict the use of the land described in Paragraph 2 may be canceled as to
all or a portion of said land by mutual agreement of the County and Owner after a public hearing has
been held in the manner provided by Section 51284 of the Government Code and upon a finding by
the Board of Supervisors that such cancellation is not inconsistent with the purposes of the Land
Conservation Act, or in the public interest, pursuant to Government Code Section 51282. It is
understood by the parties that the existence of an opportunity for another use of said land shall not be
sufficient reason for cancellation of the land use restrictions imposed herein and that the uneconomic
character of the existing use will be considered only if there is no other reasonable or comparable
agricultural use to which the land may be put.
(b)Upon cancellation of said portions of this Contract,Owner shall pay to the County
Treasurer, as deferred taxes, a cancellation fee in an amount equal to the greater of twelve and one-
half(12 'h%)percent or the current fee provided by state law of the cancellation value of the property
being released from the terms ofithis Contract. Said cancellation value shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 51283 (a) and (b). Under no
circumstances shall the payment of said cancellation fee be waived,deferred,or made subject to any
contingency whatever.
(c) Final cancellation shall be effectuated in accordance with the provisions of
Government Code Section 51283.4.
11. Cancellation Upon Substitution of New Restrictions.This Contract may be canceled
by mutual agreement of County and Owner without payment of deferred taxes or public hearing if it
is replaced by an enforceable restriction authorized by Article XIII, § 8 of the California
Constitution.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005/790

12. Eminent Domain Poceedings. (a) In accordance with the provisions of the
Government Code Section 51295, incorporated by reference herein,upon the filing of any action in
eminent domain for the condemnation of the fee title of the land or any portion thereof subject to this
Contract or upon acquisition of such land in lieu of eminent domain by public agency for a public
improvement, the provisions of this Contract shall be null and void as to the land so condemned or
acquired.
(b) If, subsequent to the filing of an action in eminent domain, the proposed
condemnation is abandoned as to all or a portion of the land subject to the Contract,the restrictions
on land use set forth in this Contract shall, without further agreement of the parties herein, be
reinstituted and the terms of this contract shall be in full force and effect, subject to the cancellation
provisions of Government Code Section 51295.
13. Remedies for Breach of Contract. (a) In the event that Owner fails to comply with the
terms and conditions of this Contract and the effect of said breach to render the use of land or
substantial portion thereof unfit for agricultural use, thereby negating the purpose and effect of this
Contract, Owner shall pay to the County a sum equal to One Hundred Per Cent (100%) of the
equalized assessed value of the real property described in Exhibit A, as established by the County
Assessor on the lien date next following the date of breach, as liquidated and agreed damages, it
having been agreed that actual damages will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and
that said measure of damages is a reasonable measure of the harm which would result from such
failure of compliance. If, after the date the Contract was initially entered into, the publicly
announced county ratio of assessment to full cash value is changed,the percentage payment in this
subdivision shall be changed so no greater percentage of full cash will be paid than would have been
paid had there been no change of ratio.
(b)It is understood that nothing herein contained shall constitute a waiver of any right
which the County may now or in the future have to seek specific performance of this Contractor
other injunctive relief. The enforcement provisions of the Contra Costa County zoning ordinance
shall also apply if the land which is the subject of this contract is used for purposes other than those
provided in Ordinance Code Chapter 84-42 or this Contract.
14. Effect of Division of Property. Owner agrees that division of the property described
in Exhibit A into two (2) or more parcels,whether by sale, gift,by operation of law or by any other
means, upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that said division is detrimental to the ultimate
preservation of said property for exclusive agricultural use,be construed by the County as notice of
non-renewal by the property owner as provided in Section 9 of this Contract.
15. New Contracts Upon Division. In the event the land under this Contract is divided,a
Contract identical to the Contract tihen covering the original parcel shall be executed by Owner on
each parcel created by the division at the time of the division. Any agency making an order of
division or the County which has i6isdiction shall require, as a condition of the approval of the
division,the execution of the Contracts provided for in this section,provided,however,that failure
of Owner to execute Contracts upon division shall not affect the obligations of the heirs,successors
and assigns of Owner as established in Section 16.
16. Contract to Run with Land. The within Contract shall run with the land described
herein, and upon division, to allparcels created therefrom, and shall be binding upon the heirs,
successors, and assigns of the Owner.
17. Consideration. Owner shall not receive any payment from County in consideration of
the obligations imposed hereunder, it being recognized and agreed that the consideration for the
execution of the within Contract is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the
advantage which will accrue to Owner as a result of the effect on the method of determining the
assessed value of land described herein and any reduction therein due to the imposition of the
limitations on its use contained herein.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005/790

18. Income and Expense Information. The Owner shall annually furnish the County
Assessor with such information as the Assessor may require to determine the valuation of the
Owner's land.
19. Effect of Removing Preserve or Zoning Classification. Removal of any land under
this Contract from an agricultural preserve or removing the agricultural preserve zoning
