A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CONCERNING THE
NEED FOR STATE TAX RELIEF TO IMPLEME� THE
CONSERVATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMEN77 OF
GENERAL PLANS
WHEREAS, on April 30, 1974, the Orange County Planning
Commission approved a Resolution concerning the need for state
tax relief to implement the conservation and open space elements
of general plans; and
Sections 65302(d) and (e) , 65560, 65561, 65562 and 65563
of the California Government Code require all city and county
general plans to include conservation and open space elements; and
The state legislature finds and declares in said Govern-
ment Code Sections that the preservation of open space land
is necessary, that premature and unnecessary conversion 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
Existing property tax assessment policies operate contrary
to these declared intents; that, instead, they encourage and
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
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 that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach will 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 (e) ,
1.

65560 , 65561, 65562 and 65563.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be
sent to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, representatives
in the state Assembly and Senate, to the Governor of California,
agricultural and open space and conservation organizations, seek-
ing their support for this tax assessment reform that will accrue
to the benefit of the populace of the State of California.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
