19.100.110 Cancellation of a UAIZ contract with the City.
A. Circumstances to Cancel UAIZ contract. Circumstances for canceling a UAIZ contract with the City shall include the following:
1. City-Initiated Cancellation for Noncompliance. If the City Manager finds that the property does not conform to the terms of the UAIZ contract or the property owner does not permit a site inspection as set forth in CVMC 19.100.100, the City Manager shall provide notice to the property owner of said noncompliance and a date by which to bring the property into compliance with the UAIZ contract or to permit an inspection pursuant to CVMC 19.100.100. Should the property owner fail to comply with the corrective actions required by the City Manager within a time period set forth by the City Manager, then notice of cancellation shall be provided to the property owner, personally or by mail, that the UAIZ contract will be canceled 15 calendar days after personal service or mailing of the notice. At the end of the 15 days, if the property owner has not brought the property into compliance with the terms of the UAIZ contract or permitted an inspection pursuant to CVMC 19.100.100, the City Manager shall execute a cancellation document and record it with the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and notify the County Assessor.
2. Property Owner-Initiated Cancellation. If the property owner submits a request to the City Manager to cancel a recorded UAIZ contract, the City Manager will execute a cancellation document with the property owner, which the City Manager will record with the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and notify the County Assessor.
B. Effect of Cancellation – Fee and Tax Rate. Pursuant to Government Code Section 51042(a)(2)(B), the City shall impose a fee equal to the cumulative value of the tax benefit received during the duration of the UAIZ contract upon the property owner for cancellation of any UAIZ contract prior to the expiration of that contract, unless the City Council makes a determination that the cancellation was caused by extenuating circumstances despite the good faith effort by the property owner. The property also shall be reassessed to its previous nonagricultural tax rate by the County Assessor following recordation of the cancellation document. (Ord. 3429 § 1, 2018).
