representation of factors pertinent to selection of a site in the Newport Harbor
area:
1. Allexpressionsof local opinion indicate enthusiastic support
for the educational program and cultural impact of a university
in this community. Local citizens clearly favor an institution
at the university level as opposed to an undergraduate college;
2. The Newport Harbor Area enjoys an unusually pleasant smog -free
climate despite its proximity to the Los Angeles Basin;
3. Well-balanced growth is assured with the planned development of
residential, commercial and restricted manufacturing zones of
the highest caliber;
4. Utility systems are either in place or programmed to accommodate
substantial growth;
5. Highway and air transportation facilities connecting with the
Los Angeles Metropolitan area are excellent and steadily ex-
panding;
6. Communities in the Newport Harbor area are evidencing a realistic
and progressive attitude toward inevitable growth through aggres-
sive attention to advanced planning and modernization of municipal
facilities.
7. Single ownership of vacant lands surrounding Newport Harbor pre-
sents the unique opportunity for the development of a well-
planned University campus to meet the educational needs of an
expanding metropolitan area.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa, California,
does hereby resolve that:
The Board of Regents of the University of California, be, and the
same is hereby, urged to give serious consideration to the Harbor area for
the location of a new campus of the University of California.
