A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A REGIONAL
AIRPORT PLAN FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, airport facilities are an important part of the infrastructure of
Southern California in terms of supporting continued economic growth, tourism,
business, and resident access to State, National, and International destinations; and
WHEREAS, projected demand for airline travel is expected to exceed existing
and planned airport facilities; and
WHEREAS, the demand for additional airport facilities is regional in nature
involving all of Southern California; and
WHEREAS, there are many commercial airports in Southern California, some
with significant histories as commercial airports, recently converted to commercial or
joint military and commercial airports, and others available as the result of military
base closure; and
WHEREAS, a regional approach to the provision of airport facilities will ensure
that no one community is excessively subjected to the adverse environmental and
social impacts associated with the operation of airport facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa is already adversely impacted by the
operation of John Wayne Airport (JWA) at its current level of operation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
That the City of Costa Mesa hereby supports a regional approach to addressing
projected demand for airline travel, including the counties of Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura.
Further, that the City of Costa Mesa hereby supports a careful evaluation of
opportunities for the expansion of existing commercial, joint military and commercial
use facilities, and military facilities available as the result of base closure, to meet
projected demand, excluding JWA which already adversely impacts residents and
businesses in the surrounding area, including the City of Costa Mesa.
