RESOLUTION N0. 69-26
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA OPPOSING ANY EXTENSION OF THE RUNWAYS
AT THE ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT AND URGING THAT
STEPS BE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A REGIONAL AIRPORT TO SERVE ORANGE COUNTY
WHEREAS, the explosive development of operations at the Orange County
Airport has reached s point where a 100 per cent increase has been recorded
in a single year, with resultant excessive noise and pollution dangerously
detrimental to surrounding residential and industrial areas and
WURFAS, the need for expanded air service from Orange County to
points in the Northwest is both evident and pressing; and
WHL'REAS, the suggestion has been made that extension of the runways
would enable the Orange County Airport to handle larger planes and thereby
provide increased service at the expense of creating a permanent, unnecessary
and detrimental hazard to this City and the Harbor Area generally; and
WHEREAS, the relocation of the proposed Corona del Mar Freeway
to permit this expansion of runways has been suggested without regard to
the losses, dangers, and discomforts imposed thereby upon Harbor Area
residents; and
WHEREAS, time is of the essence and the location, development and
operation of a regional airport would solve the problems of overuse of the
Orange County Airport, and at the same time provide needed air service to
the County; and
WHEREAS, this City Council deems it necessary that steps be immediately
taken to establish a regional airport in a less densely developed area and
thus relieve the intolerable conditions presently developing at the existing
Orange County Airport;
NOW, THEREFORE, EE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa, that this Council hereby states its unalterable opposition to
any extension of the runways at the Orange County Airport; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any deviation from the existing adopted
agreement for the proposed Corona del Mar Freeway be,and the same is hereby,
opposed; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that every effort be made immediately to
proceed with the location, development and operation of a regional airport
to relieve Orange County Airport of the existing and potential overuse of heavy
planes and the consequent hazards therefrom.
PASSED AND ADOPTED, this 17th day of March, 1969.
