RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/114 accepting Grant Deed of Development Rights for subdivision MS11-0001, for a project being developed by James and Barbara de Fremery, as recommended by the Conservation and Development Director, Knightsen area (District III).

FISCAL IMPACT:

None to the General Fund. The applicant is responsible for payment of all costs associated with the processing of the grant deed.

BACKGROUND:

On August 7, 2017, the Contra Costa County Zoning Administrator conditionally approved an application (#MS11-0001) to subdivide an approximately 31.41-acre site in an unincorporated area of Knightsen into three parcels, Parcel-A, Parcel-B, and Parcel-C. Condition of Approval #10 of the approved minor subdivision requires that development rights to seventy-five percent each of Parcel-A, Parcel-B, and Parcel-C be conveyed by grant deed to the County to ensure the long-term preservation of agricultural uses on each parcel. The Grant Deed of Development Rights must be recorded prior to the recordation of the parcel map under the approved subdivision. On March 10, 2020, the County Board of Supervisors approved the subject grant deed of development rights. This resolution is required for the County's formal acceptance of interest in the property pursuant to Government Code section 27281.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The grant deed of development rights will not be accepted for recordation.
