A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE ELEMENT OF
POWERS, FUNDING, AND GOVERNMENT OF THE SOUTH
COAST REGIONAL COASTAL COMMISSION.
WHEREAS, the South Coast Regional Coastal Commission has drafted a
proposal for a system of Powers, Funding, and Government for the South
Coast Region and for the State, to be implemented as a successor to the
current commissions and system established by passage of Proposition 20
which would perpetuate and extend the permit system inland much further
than presently authorized by Proposition 20; and
WHEREAS, under the proposal, local land use programs for coastal
areas would have to be approved by this successor agency, thus injecting
a State -appointed committee into the local land use planning process,
including the entire areas of many cities; and
WHEREAS, the proposal creates many problems for local governments,
including replacing current regional and coastal commissions with a
nine -member State agency on which no elected official of any local
government would be permitted to serve; and
WHEREAS, land use planning should remain in the hands of local
government, while recognizing the needs for coordination and satisfac-
tion of State and Federal concerns;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa hereby expresses to the South Coast Regional Coastal Commis-
sion its opposition to any and all portions of the proposed Powers,
Funding, and Government element which exceed the provisions of Proposi-
tion 20 as adopted by the State electorate; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the South Coast Regional Coastal
Commission be advised in instructing the preparation of the proposed
element that with the termination of Proposition 20, local governments
should retain jurisdiction in coastal areas within their geographical
areas and be responsible for implementation of the Coastal Plan; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of Costa
Mesa is directed to forward copies of this Resolution to the South Coast
Regional Coastal Commission, the State Coastal Commission, the League of
California Cities, and each city and county in the South Coast Region
with jurisdiction over land along the coastline.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of January, 1975.
