The cancellation is in the public interest because: OR Other public concerns substantially outweigh the objectives of the Williamson Act. There is no proximate noncontracted land which is both available and suitable for the use to which it is proposed the contract land be put, or, development of the contracted land would provide more contiguous patterns of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted land.
