The intent of this chapter is to provide a method for the management and disestablishment of existing Williamson Act contracts in agricultural preserves within Kern County, which are proposed for annexation to the city boundaries or are currently within the city boundaries, as provided in the Williamson Act as set forth in the California Government Code. It is the intent of the city to file nonrenewal notices for Williamson Act contracts which are in force at the time the property is included in the city limits. No new Williamson Act contracts will be initiated on property within the city limits and the city will request Kern County not to create new agricultural preserves within its sphere of influence. The city, after acquiring land under Williamson Act contracts by annexation, shall have all the rights and responsibilities specified in Government Code Section 51235. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).
