RESOLUTION NUMBER ~~~ j1
.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
OPPOSING THE INCLUSION OF ANAHEIM BAY, OFFICIALLY
DESIGNATED AS AREA CA-46, WITHIN THE COASTAL BARRIER
RESOURCES SYSTEM AS ESTABLISHED BY THE COASTAL BARRIER
RESOURCES ACT, PUBLIC LAW 97-348
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
Section 2b of the'Coastal Barrier Resources Act
defines its purpose as minimizing "the loss of human
life, wasteful expenditure of Federal revenues, and
the damage to fish, wildlife, and other natural
resources associated with the coastal barriers along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts by restricting future
Federal expenditures and financial assistance which
have the effect of encouraging development of
coastal barriers, by establishing a Coastal Barrier
Resources System and by considering the means of
measures by which the long-term conservation of
these fish, wildlife, and other natural resources
may be achieved," (Emphasis added); and
I
portions of the California coastline have now been
proposed for inclusion in the Resources System,
specifically, Anaheim Bay in Seal Beach and other coastal
areas of Orange County; and
property owners in Coastal flood plains need Federal
flood insurance protection; and
the existing California Coastal Act of 1976 already
provides resource protection policy guidelines for
coastal land use decisions and continues to place
high priority on public safety and ecological
sensitivity; and
I
Federal funds are used in Anaheim Bay for channel
dredging and adjacent Sunset Beach, beach sand
replenishment -- all in accordance with existing
Federal, State, County and City policies; and
removal of Federal funding from these operations would
impede the maintenance of the navigable channel into
the U,S. Naval Weapons Station, Sunset Aquatic Park
and Huntington Harbor, and the replenishment of beach
sand immediately downcoast of the Anaheim Bay entrance
channel.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach questions the appropriateness of including Anaheim Bay, CA-46, in
the Coastal Barrier Resources System inasmuch as this area is already
being carefully planned to avoid loss of human life and damage to natural
resources; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Seal Beach wishes to go on record
in opposition to the inclusion of Anaheim Bay in Coastal Resources System,
and now hereby directs the City Manager to forward this document to the I
Secretary of the Interior prior to the end of the public comment period,
September 30, 1985.
