A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BAKERSFIELD DETERMINING PETITION FOR CAN-
CELLATION OF LAND USE CONTRACT UNDER
WILLIAMSON ACT WITH RESPECT TO PART OF
LAND.
WHEREAS, Oildale Ready Mix, a partnership, on February
15, 1978, filed with this Council a petition for cancellation of
a Land Use Contract as to part of the subject land, which contract
was entered into under the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson
Act) on February 23, 1968, recorded in Book 4135 at page 470,
Kern County Recorder's office, and which land is located in
County of Kern Agricultural Preserve No. 14; and
WHEREAS, the parcel of land with respect to which such
cancellation is sought consists of approximately 42 acres; and
WHEREAS, the petitioners base their request for cancel-
lation and allege, that the proposed future use of the said
parcel of land is for sand and 9ravel strip mining for approxim-
ately five (5) years, then development into residential use; that
cancellation of said contract as to said parcel is not inconsistent
with the purposes of the Williamson Act and is in the public
interest; that the ultimate plan of the landowner is consistent
with the general plan. Sand and rock operation is being sought
through conditional use permit conditioned on cancellation of the
Land Use Contract as to the described portion of the land there-
under. Sand and rock is in short supply in the Bakersfield area,
with all sources being rapidly exhausted, which in turn is affect-
ing price. This resource must be secured before property is
developed in a higher and more intensive use.
WHEREAS, this Council, by Resolution No. 16-78, has
fixed a time and place for hearing said matter, at 8 p.m., March
22, 1978, at City Hall, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, and notice of said
hearing has been duly 9iven in the manner required by said resolu-
tionsand Section 51284 of the Government Code~ and said hearing
has been duly conducted at the time and place so specified, and
evidence having been received, and all persons desiring to be
heard in said matter having been given an opportunity to be heard;

cancellation; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 51283 of
the Government Code, the Assessor of the County of Kern has deter-
mined the full cash value of the parcel of land with respect to
which cancellation is requested as though it were free of the con-
tractual restriction, and has certified to'this City Council that
the amount thereof of $42,000.00, and that the most recently
announced county assessment ratio is 25%, and that the cancellation
valuation of said land is $10,500.00 and that the cancellation fee
is 50% of this value or $5,250.00, as mentioned in Section 512.83
of the Government Code; and it appearing that after the date said
contract was initially entered into, the publicly announced county
ratio of assessed to full cash value has not changed.
