RESOLUTION NO. ~/~
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH INDICATING
AGREEMENT TO BECOMING A
TRANSPORTATION PARTNER WITH THE
CENTER FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES
WHEREAS,
current patterns of land use in many communities increase peoples'
dependence on the automobile and are largely responsible for the 2%
annual increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the United States; and
WHEREAS,
this dependence on the automobile results in increased pollutant emissions,
the loss of precious open space, the need for building and extending costly
roads and public services, the inequitable distribution of economic
resources, and the loss of a sense of community; and
WHEREAS,
appropriate mixed land use, transit-, bicycle- and pedestrian-oriented
development can reduce auto dependency and VMT, and create more
livable and resource efficient communities; and
WHEREAS,
the City of Seal Beach has been identified by the Local Government
Commission's Center for Livable Communities as contributing to its
jurisdiction's environment, economic health and sense of community by
adopting land use policies which encourage transit-, bicycle- and
pedestrian-oriented development; and
WHEREAS,
the Center for Livable Communities provides assistance to cities through
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Transportation Partners
program; and
WHEREAS,
the Transportation Partners program supports community transportation
solutions across the country through information services, technical
assistance, and recognition; and
WHEREAS,
cities that participate in the Transportation Partners program receive
recognition and support for their efforts to improve their land use patterns
and reduce their residents' dependence on the automobile; and
WHEREAS,
the Center for Livable Communities would like to recognize the City of
Seal Beach as one of it's Transportation Partners; and
WHEREAS,
this recognition comes without cost to the participating jurisdiction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal
