A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL
NO . 1471
WHEREAS , Assembly Bill No . 1471 proposes legislation
to control land development for the alleged purpose of pre-
serving California' s coastline ; and
Such legislation defines coastal zone as "the land and
water area of the State of California from the border of the
State of Oregon to the border of the Republic of Mexico, ex-
tending seaward to the outer limit of state jurisdiction, . .
and extending inland to the highest elevation of the nearest
coastal mountain range . . .but such inland boundaries shall
not extend beyond the highest elevation of the nearest coastal
mountain range or five miles from the mean high tide line ,
whichever is the shortest distance . . " ; and
To create a state commission with the power to deter-
mine land use and development for such a vast zone is to in-
fringe on the right of cities and other local agencies to
regulate land use and development within their boundaries ;
and
The creation of such state commission would additionally
be an infringement on the rights of private property owners
and public utilities to use and develop their land; and
The City of Huntington Beach has , as have many other
cities , an intense interest in preserving the coastline which
is a part of the city ' s boundaries , and to that end, the city
has a committee made up of specially qualified people whose
aim it is to conserve the natural features within the city
limits by regulating land use and development ,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
1.
City of Huntington Beach as follows :
1. That the goals of coastline conservation and protection
will be achieved on a more effective , economic basis by cities
and other local agencies ..
2 . That the formation of the California Coastal Zone Con-
servation Commission with the power to issue permits for land
development , would constitute an infringement on the right of
local agencies to regulate and control land development within
their boundaries .
3 . That the City of Huntington Beach opposes Assembly
Bill No . 1471 and any legislation which would nullify the
years of study and preparation expended on the Master Plan of
the city and the County of Orange .
4 . That the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to
transmit copies of this resolution to appropriate state Legis-
lators , specifically the Chairman of the Assembly Committee on
Planning and Land Use, the League of California Cities , other
effected coastal cities in the County of Orange, and the Orange
County Board of Supervisors .
