The Mayor and Common Council hereby jfind that, in seeking to annex territories known generally as the Highland area, Arrowhead Suburban Farms, and various islands of property within the boundaries of the City of San Bernardino which have not previously been included within the City limits of the City of San Bernardino, existing County ordinances are in many cases less strict on the keeping of animals within unincorporated areas of the County than are existing City ordinances within the City. The City has no desire to impose greater restrictions on undeveloped lands. One exception is that the keeping of hogs, sows, gilts and boars, except those raised in supervised agriculture educational programs such as 4-H programs and Future Farmers of America programs, or other programs supervised by the ~ MC-418 1 .. , I Agricultural Cooperative Extension Service of the County of San 2 Bernardino, within the City limits, is still objectionable, and 3 that the present provisions of the San Bernardino Municipal Code 4 relating to hogs, sows, gilts and boars except those raised in 5 supervised agriculture educational programs should be enforced 6 even in the territory proposed to be annexed after a two-year 7 Imoratorium.

All excepted 16 sections and chapters, other than Section 6.08.055, shall be ]7 permanently inapplicable within any property included within the 18 annexation areas identified as Annexation Parcels 1 through 12, 19 I inclusive, by Resolution No. 84-279 of the City of San Bernardino, I except as otherwise specified herein, and shall not be enforced ilwithin any such area by personnel of the Animal Control Department Ii or by any other City employee. The City shall, however, prior to II the effective date of any such annexation, adopt an ordinance I ~ covering such property imposing restrictions on the keeping of ~ animals identical with those now in effect under ordinances of the ~ County of San Bernardino.

Any ranch or farm in the annexation area described above used for keeping, grazing, breeding or raising of horses, cattle or sheep in any such area at the time of its annexation shall be deemed a legal nonconforming use and shall maintain such nonconforming status during any temporary periods of time when the horses, cattle or sheep are moved elsewhere during the absence of the owners or occupants of the ranch or farm and are subsequently returned to the area. If the temporary period of non-use shall exceed one hundred eighty days, the nonconforming status may be preserved if the owner, occupant or tenant of such property files with the Planning Director a notice prior to the expiration of the one hundred eighty day period that the period of non-use will exceed one hundred eighty days but will not exceed two years, which notice shall specify the anticipated date by which the use will be reactivated. SECTION 4. Section 6.08.050 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code is amended to read: "6.08.050 Keeping of more than five animals. Except in those areas identified as Annexation Parcels 1 through 12 by Resolution No. 84-279 of the City of San Bernardino, it is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to keep or cause to be kept, more than five of the animals described in Section 6.08.040 {except cows)."
