tinued operation of John Wayne Airport, in violation of the State
Airport Noise Standards; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa supports the issuance of a var-
iance to allow the continued operation of John Wayne Airport, but only
under appropriate conditions; and
WHEREAS, John Wayne Airport is currently operating by virtue of
the terms of a variance issued by the State Department of Transporta-
tion, which variance contains certain conditions relating to noise
control at John Wayne Airport; and
WHEREAS, the noise placed upon the surrounding community imposes
heavy burdens on the residents of the area affected by airport noise;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa acknowledges that John Wayne
Airport provides an important link in the regional air transportation
system of Southern California; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa supports the continued operation
of John Wayne Airport, but only with limits upon activity and noise
impact so as to not more severely impact residents and property owners
surrounding the airport;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa that the City Council supports the issuance of a variance
for the continued operation of John Wayne Airport. The City Council
further supports the imposition of the existing conditions of the

Airport consistent with safety, and encourages an active noise reduc-
tion program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa that the City supports the imposition of additional and new
conditions on the operation of John Wayne Airport which will result in
significant concrete limitations on noise and ultimately result in the
reduction of noise imposed upon the residential community surrounding
