A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ORANGE COUNTY MASTER PLAN
OF ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS AND RECOMMEKDING STUDY BY STATE
HIGHWAY AUTHORITIES OF A PROPOSED ROUTING OF A COASTAL
HIGHWAY SERVING THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH AND OTHER
COASTAL COMM[1NITIES.
WHEREAS, the County of Orange after long and careful study has
developed a Master Plan of Arterial Highways for Orange County (attached
as Exhibit "A") and said plan was after extensive public review,, including
review by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,, adopted by
the Orange County Board of Supervisors on May 31, 1956; and
WHEREAS, incl-aded on said plan are various suggested "supplementary
or alternate routes" designated by dotted lines, one of which shows a
proposed coastal highway routing inland of the present Coast Highway 101A
p Y
from the vicinity of Seal Beach to the vicinity of Dana Point; and
WHEREAS, an early official determination as to the final location
of said coastal highway is of paramount concern to the City of Huntington
Beach and to other coastal communities in that planning and development
of residential, commercial and recreational areas is having to be curtailed
,_pending such determination;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
f of Huntington Beach:
1. Endorses and approves the Master Plan of Arterial Highways
as adopted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors May

coastal highway as shown by dotted line on said. Master
Plan, for the following reasons:
(1) The entire planning and development of the present
beach front area and of the easterly area of the City
adjacent to the existing Highway 101A in particular are
dependent upon the early location and development of a
new and more suitable routing of the coastal highway&
(2) The City of Huntington Beach Master Plan of
Streets and Highways is currently being studied by a
Planning Consultant firm and maybe revised and its re»
adoption is inseparably linked to the ultimate location of
the coastal highway,
(3) Economy of construction and ease of traffic flour
would both appear to be served by adoption of the proposed
coastal route, in comparison to widening and further develop..
ment of the existing Highway 101A with consequent high cost
of land acquisition, destruction of valuable business, beach
recreational facilities and properties, and further concentra-
tion of traffic in already congested areas•
(4) It is publicly known that the State Division of
Highways is taking preliminary steps to improve traffic flow
at the intersection of Highway 101A and Highway +39 in this
City. The planning and design of such improvements will have
a major effect on (a) the opportunity for needed inland ex-
pansion of the Huntington Beach State Park and (b) the
ultimate routing of a new coast highway, and should be based
on a prior decision as to such routing,
