Resolution No. 04-096 Page 5 The relevant objectives, as they relate to this project, are not significant. The benefits of the proposed project clearly offset each of the relevant objectives of the Act, as they are consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The project will add housing consistent with the City's General Plan and growth management plan. In its undeveloped state the RMC property adds little to the State's existing and future food supply. Development will not be discontinuous and the years of planning associated with the adoption of the Specific Plan, related rezoning to PUD- MDR/OS/Vineyard (Planned Unit Development - Medium Density Residential Open Space/Vineyard) District, and the subsequent approval of the Tentative Map and related Development Agreement allow the City to control contiguous and continuous thoroughly planned development. Lastly, permanent open space has been provided for in the City's General Plan sufficient to provide the physical, social, and esthetics assets needed by present and future residents of Pleasanton. Further, the proposed project will include significant open space and vineyards in its development plan. As the Specific Plan has been adopted by the City Council, the development of the property, in a form consistent with the plan as depicted in the PUD plan and Tentative Ma, shall not result in the premature conversion of agricultural land to urban uses and such development shall contribute to the overall continuity of the development in the City. That there is no proximate noncontracted land which is both available and suitable for the use to which it is proposed the contracted land be put, or, that development of the contracted land would provide more contiguous patterns of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted land. This is the same finding as the earlier finding under paragraph 15(E) above. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Council approves tentative cancellation of Williamson Act Agricultural Preserve Contract 1974-10B under the provisions of California Government Code Section 51282 removing 21.5-* acres of land located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue: That the City Clerk be directed and authorized to record a Certificate of Tentative Cancellation for the property.
