In accordance with Government Code Section 51282, the City Council of the City of Redlands hereby finds that Cancellation of Land Conservation Contract No. 74-RO15 is consistent with the Williamson Act and further specifically finds that: A. The cancellation is for land on which a notice of nonrenewal has been served pursuant to Government Code Section 51245 a Filing of nonrenewal has been filed with the City Clerk; DJM\Resp\6622 B. That the cancellation is not likely to result in the removal of adjacent lands from agricultural use as the overall project site is separated by San Bernardino Avenue, a Minor Arterial Street; C. That the cancellation is for an alternative use which is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's General Plan; the property has a General Plan Land Use Designations of Very-Low Density Residential (0-2.7 units per gross acre) and the proposed subdivision is consistent with this designation. D. That the cancellation will not result in the discontiguous patterns of urban development because the project proposes the westward expansion of the existing University Grove planned residential development located directly across the street (Dearborn Street) and bounded by the same streets on the north and south (San Bernardino Avenue and Lugonia Avenue respectively) as the site for which the cancellation is proposed. E. That there is no proximate noncontracted land which is both available and suitable for the use to which it is proposed the contracted land be put, or, that development of the contracted land would provide more contiguous patterns of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted land; the project site for which the cancellation is proposed is directly across the street from an existing planned residential development and is in the same alignment (south of San Bernardino Avenue and north of Lugonia Avenue) as the existing subdivision. There are no noncontracted lands that can provide a more contiguous pattern of development than the project site. F. San Bernardino County Assessor's Parcel No. 0168-161-05 is hereby granted approval for tentative cancellation of Land Conservation Contract No. 74-RO15. Section 2. Pursuant to Government Code Section 51283.4, the Property owner shall satisfy the conditions and contingencies contained in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Property owner further shall notify this City Council whether or not it has been able to satisfy such conditions.
