Chapter 2 Environmental Setting sand and gravel and other quarries, reclaimed quarry lakes, and similar and compatible uses. This designation is also applied to areas unsuitable for development because of public health and safety hazards or environmentally sensitive features. One single-family home per parcel is allowed provided that all relevant development standards are met (City of Livermore 2004). Pleasanton Wildlands This area is located south of the city of Pleasanton, bordered by Interstate (I-) 680 on the west and extending south to San Antonio Reservoir (Figure 2-1). This area is outside of the city of Pleasanton; it is within Alameda County and is under County jurisdiction. The area includes lands identified as wildlife corridors and valuable plant and wildlife habitats such as arroyos, the San Antonio Reservoir area, highly vegetated areas, and other natural areas necessary to maintain significant populations of plant and animal species. Wind Resource Area Alameda County, along with the Golden Gate Audubon Society and several private wind energy companies, are currently developing a regional conservation plan for the wind resource area. This area is located in the northeastern part of Alameda County, extending to the Contra Costa and San Joaquin County lines on the north and east, and through the Altamont Hills to the west (Figure 2-1). This area has special designation due to existing wind energy facilities and the intention to continue to develop and utilize wind resources in the future. This designation is primarily to facilitate real estate disclosures about existing wind energy facilities and the potential for future wind facility uses. The designation also restricts changes in land use that are incompatible with future wind energy generation (Alameda County Community Development Agency 2002). California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act) The purpose of the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (California Government Code 51200–51295), commonly known as the Williamson Act, is to provide incentives, through reduced property taxes, to deter the early conversion of agricultural and open space lands. In return for the preferential tax rate, the landowner is required to sign a contract with the county or city agreeing not to develop the land for a minimum 10-year period. Contracts are automatically renewed annually unless a party to the contract files a notice of nonrenewal or petitions for cancellation. All lands defined by the state as “prime farmland, other than prime farmland, and open space land” are eligible for coverage by a Williamson Act contract. Land classified as other than Prime Farmland or open space land can be placed under contract if it is located in an area designated by a county or city as an agricultural preserve. Approximately 24% of Alameda County is under Williamson Act contract. Nearly all of that is in the study area and comprises nonprime agricultural land. There are several East Alameda County Conservation Strategy 2-6 October 2010 ICF 00906.08
Chapter 2 Environmental Setting parcels of prime farmland south of Livermore. Nearly all of this is under permanent agricultural conservation easements held by the Tri-Valley Conservancy. However, on July 28, 2009, the Governor of California signed the austere 2009– 2010 Budget Act (Assembly Bill 1, Fourth Extraordinary Session and various associated bills), which drastically affected the Williamson Act. During this budget term, counties and cities will not be reimbursed by the state for property taxes not received as a result of land that is not developed. This enactment is a strong disincentive for counties and cities to continue their Williamson Act programs, and to enter into any additional contracts. The repercussions of the 2009–2010 Budget Act may impact Williamson Act lands in Alameda County. 2.2.3 Land Use Controls The existing boundaries of urban growth are discussed below for the county and each participating city. 2.2.3.1 Boundaries to Urban Growth The establishment of an UGB is an important mechanism utilized by cities and counties to encourage growth within a specified area to avoid urban sprawl. Development within an UGB reduces impacts on farmland, wildlife habitat, energy consumption, and pollution. The UGB also creates buffers between communities. Areas outside of the UGB may not be suitable for development due to significant natural resources, agricultural uses, or issues related to public health and safety. Conversely, some areas within the UGB may not be suitable for development for the same reasons. The following sections describe UGBs established in Alameda County and the cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton. Alameda County Measure D was passed in November 2000 by the Alameda County electorate. The measure, called the Save Agriculture and Open Space Lands Initiative, amended segments of Alameda County’s general plan, which includes the East County Area Plan (ECAP) (Alameda County Community Development Agency 2002). The Initiative had several purposes: to preserve and enhance agriculture and agricultural lands; to protect natural resources, wildlife habitats, watersheds, and open space lands of Alameda County; and to limit suburban sprawl.
