RESOLUTION NO. 3549
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH RECOMMENDING THE CREATION OF
TAX RELIEF PROVISIONS FOR INDUSTRIALLY ZONED
PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
has determined that the demand for the sale and development
of industrial property is less than the demand for residential
property, and
WHEREAS, this demand is a result of industrial property
developing after a labor pool has been established and ade-
quate facilities provided, and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission has been petitioned
on numerous occasions to reclassify industrial property for
residential use, and
WHEREAS, such petitions , when approved, result in an
erosion of the city 's potential industrial base, and
WHEREAS, such erosion upsets the balance of land use
needed for a city to maintain an economically sound fiscal
plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that taxation
of vacant industrial property creates economic pressures on
property, and
WHEREAS, such economic pressures are often the reason
for property owners to seek relief through the sale of their
property, and
WHEREAS, such relief cannot be realized until the demand
for industrial property is increased, and
WHEREAS, the property tax. has also been determined to
cause premature development of property .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach that the City Council recom-
mends that state legislation be enacted to allow tax relief
1.
for industrially zoned property in areas where development
of such property is premature .
RESOLVED FURTHER that the City Clerk be directed to forward
copies of this resolution to Senator Carpenter, Senator Whetmore,
Assemblyman Burke, Assemblyman Cory, the California League
of Cities , and the California State Legislature.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 21st
day of August, 1972 .
