Resolution No. 96-105 N.C.S.
of the City of Petaluma, California
ESTABLISHING A REVIEW PERIOD TO JULY 25, 1997
AND HALTING
THE PROCESSING OF THE SEPTEMBER 19,1994, PROPOSAL
EXCHANGE THE LAFFERTY RANCH FOR MOON RANCH
WHEREAS, on September 19, 1994, the City Council approved a proposal to exchange
the City owned 270 acre Lafferty Ranch for the 381 acre Moon Ranch to provide a regional park
in the Sonoma Mountains and to provide 661 acres in permanent open space; and,
Wf-IEREAS, one of the major reasons the City Council pursued an exchange as the means
to acquire a regional park was the past practice of the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation
and Open Space District (SCAPOSD) to focus on the acquisition of conservation easements and
to not acquire fee interest in properties for recreational purposes; and,
WHEREAS, the SCAPOSD has been presented with the opportunity and has recently
acquired fee interests in property for recreational purposes; and,
WHEREAS, on April 15, 1996, Supervisor Jim Harberson committed to the City Council
to work diligently to seek funding to acquire a regional park; and,
WHEREAS, Supervisor Jim Harberson stated that, due to the back-log of projects at the
SCAPOSD, it would possibly take up to a year before such funding couldbe obtained.
