<ns0:DigestText>

Existing law makes legislative findings that the provisions relating to open-space zoning are not intended, and shall not be construed, as authorizing the city or the county to exercise its power to adopt, amend or repeal an open-space zoning ordinance in a manner that will take or damage private property for public use without the payment of just compensation therefor.</html:p>
