Ruiz Trustee of the Rafael S. and Regina A. Martinez Family Survivor's Trust dated 03-07- 02, ("Owner")owns that property described in Exhibit A to proposed resolution to RESCIND existing Land Conservation Contract No. 8-70 as to land commonly known as Assessor's Parcel No. 011- 070-014. Owner has applied to place the property into a new Land Conservation Contract. The Williamson Act program (Government Code, Sections 51200 et. seq.), through Land Conservation Contracts, restricts land uses and structures on property under contract. The Williamson Act provides for a process to rescind an existing contract and enter into a new contract by mutual agreement between the parties provided that the new contract remains consistent with the intent and purpose of Williamson Act. Owner intends to continue agricultural uses on the property, but she wants her own separate contract that reflects existing permitted structures (with building permits on file with the Building Inspection Department) and uses; and that allows for an expanded walnut processing shed and living accommodations for agricultural workers employed on the property. Owner desires to rescind the existing Land Conservation Contract No. 8-70 only for her property for the purpose of entering into the new Land Conservation Contract. The expansion of the walnut processing shed and the provision of living accommodations for agricultural workers supports the agricultural use of the land and therefore conforms to the Williamson Act and the County Code. 2 GG S ' Ja;u6ry 22, 2008 Board of Supervisors County File: AP07-00005 Land Conservation Contract No. 08-0001 BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS - continued Land Conservation Contract No. 8-70 was entered on February 17, 1970 by Resolution No. 70/11 between the County and Leonard and Beatrice Cross. The contract was subsequently amended on February 28 1970.The property is located in Agricultural Preserve No. 8-70, also established on February 17, 1970 by Resolution No. 70/11. The subject parcel, commonly known as Assessor's Parcel No. 011-070-014, was created by a minor subdivision(County File MS 94-88). The subdivision was approved by the County on June 20, 1989 with Resolution No. 89/404.The subject property configuration was subsequently modified by lot line adjustment (County File LLA98-0032). This parcel is considered prime agricultural land. The land qualifies for rating as Class I in the Natural Resource Conservation Service land use capability classifications. Pursuant to the Williamson Act, land that qualifies for Class I rating is considered prime agricultural land (Government Code § 51201 (c) (1)). Under Government Code Section 51222, prime agricultural land at least 10 acres in size is presumed to be large enough to sustain the agricultural uses permitted under contract. This parcel is 20 acres of prime agricultural land, and is therefore presumed to be large enough to support the contracted agricultural uses. The property will continue in Agricultural Preserve No. 8-70. The Williamson Act states that an Agricultural Preserves shall consist of no less than 100 acres (Government Code § 51230). With approximately 221 acres, Agricultural Preserve No. 8-70 exceeds this threshold. With the rescission of the original contract and the adoption of the new contract the amount of acreage within the preserve will remain the same. The actions associated with the establishment of a Land Conservation (Williamson Act) Contract described above are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Regs, Section 15317, Class 17).

Martinez Family Survivor's Tfust dated 03- 07-02,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 restrictions 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 Prol2egy Value. It is the intent of the County and Owner that this Contract is conditioned upon the continued existence of legislation implementing Article G G� 7 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. Governing 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 69-763. 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 herein. 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 January, 2008, 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 January 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 RESOLUTION 2008/004 2 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 '/2%)percent or the current fee provided by state law of the cancellation value of the property being released from the terms of this 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. 12. Eminent Domain Proceedings. (a)In accordance with the provisions of 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 is to render the use of land or a 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 RESOLUTION 2008/004 3 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 value 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 Contract or 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 then 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 jurisdiction 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 Section16. 16. Contract to Run with Land. The within Contract shall run with the land described herein, and upon division, to all parcels 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. 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. RESOLUTION 2008/004 4 19. Effect of Removing Preserve or Zoning Classification.
