RESOLUTION NO. 5955
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING THE CONSIDERATION OF
THE ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER AT LOS ALAMITOS
AS A COMMERCIAL AIRPORT IN THE AIRPORT SITE
CONSENSUS PROGRAM FOR ORANGE COUNTY
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach, along with other
neighboring communities in West Orange County, consistently
voiced its opposition to any commercial or general aviation use
of the Armed Forces Reserve Center (AFRC) facility; and
These objections are base on the fact that the facility is
located in a highly urbanized area of Orange County with a
population in excess of 150,000 within a 5-mile radius, all of
whom would be adversely affected by any increased air activities
at the facility; and
A commercial airport at the AFRC would impair the health,
safety and enjoyment of personal property rights; and
The proposal for a commercial use of the AFRC would
interfere with the current air traffic serving not only the
military but also the adjoining municipal airport at Long Beach;
and
There are significant site constraints, including but not
limited to the traffic circulation in the general area due to
the lack of north/south streets and the over-burdened east/west
circulation system; and
This site has proven to be politically unacceptable and not
consistent with other local, county, regional and state planning
guidelines .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach strongly opposes consideration of the
- 1 - 5955
Armed Forces Reserve Center at Los Alamitos as a commercial
airport in the Airport Site Consensus Program for Orange County
and urges other West Orange County Cities to join in the
opposition to this site.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council
of the City of Huntington Beach held on the 21st day
of November , 1988 .
