RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TIlE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA CONCERNING THE NEED FOR STATE
TAX RELIEF TO H1PLEMENT TIlE CONSERVATION AIm
OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS OF GENERAL PLANS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, Sections 65302(d) and (e), 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 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
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
finds that existing property tax assessment policies operate con-
trary 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 popu-
lace, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, moreover, that assess-
ment and taxation policies are the key factors in realistic imple-
mentation 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 Chula Vista that it encourages the State Legislature
to enact laws to effect property tax assessment policies which
will support and promote the conservation and open space as de-
clared in the Government Code, Sections ~5302(d) and (e), 65560,
65561, 65562, and 65563.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City

fied copy of this resolution to the Governor of California,
Senator James Mills, Assemblyman Wadie Deddeh and to all members
of the San Diego County Legislative Delegation seeking their
