AGENDA ITEM VII A
RESOLUTION NUMBER ~
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACIl REITERATING OPPOSITION TO USE OF U.S.
NAVAL AIR STATION, LOS ALAMITOS, AS AN AIR FACILITY
OF ANY TYPE AND FAVORING A CIVILIAN REGIONAL AIRPORT
IN THE SOUTHERN, LESS DENSELY POPULATED PORTION OF
THIS COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach has previously recorded its opposition
to continued flying operations at U.S. Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos,
because of hazards and noise pollution in a highly urbanized environment; and
WHEREAS, it was previously reported that the United States Department
of Defense planned to deactivate said facility for naval flying purposes
on or before July 1, 1971; and
WHEREAS, recent statements by Defense Department officials indicate
deactivation is no longer a certainty; and
,
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange have expressed
interest in converting said facility to a civilian regional airport; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach has also previously recorded its opposition
to the use of said facility as a regional airport; and
WHEREAS, this Council's opposition is based firmly on the incompatibility
of population densities and air operations; and
WHEREAS, other regional airport sites being considered by the Board of
Supervisors in the southern portion of this County do not present the
basic incompatibility described above; and
WHEREAS, maintaining lower population densities around sites being considered
in the southern portion of the County is a less complex problem than decreasing
existing high densities around sites in urbanized areas;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach does reiterate its opposition to use of U.S. Naval Air Station, Los
Alamitos as an air facility of any type;
