1974-217RESOLUTION NO. 74R -217
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM CONCERNING THE NEED FOR
STATE TAX RELIEF TO IMPLEMENT THE CON-
SERVATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS OF
GENERAL PLANS.
WHEREAS, Sections 65302(d) and (3), 65560, 65561,
65562, and 65563 of the State Government Code require all
city and county general plans to include conservation and
open space :elements; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature finds and declares
in said Government Code Sections that the preservation of open
space land is necessary, that premature and unnecessary con-
version of open space to urban uses should be discouraged,
and that orderly growth and development of the State and the
preservation and conservation of its resources is necessary;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim
finds that existing property tax assessment policies operate
contrary to these declared intents; that, instead, they
encourage and /or force the premature conversion of open space
to urban uses and hinder the orderly growth and development
of the State to the detriment of the general health, safety
and welfare of the populace; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, moreover, that
assessment and taxation policies are the key factors in
realistic implementation of conservation and open space plans
and in the promotion of an orderly pattern of growth.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Anaheim that it encourage the State Legislature to
enact laws to effect property tax assessment policies which
will support and promote the conservation and open space as
declared in the Government Code, Sections 65302(d) and (3),
65560, 65561, 65562, and 65563.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution
be sent to Representatives in the State Assembly and Senate, to
the Governor of California, other Orange County cities, agri-
cultural, and open space and conservation organizations seeking
their support for this tax assessment reform that will accrue
to the benefit of the populace of the State of California.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by me
this 7th day of May, 1974.
