RESOLUTION NO. 7684
JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT
DISTRICT STATING LOCAL POSITIONS ON THE PROPOSED
FEDERAL WILDLIFE PRESERVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SWEET[~dATER RIVER FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL/ROUTE 54
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, based upon past meetings with various agencies
involved in the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel/Route 54
construction project, it has become evident that there is a uni-
fied local position with regard to wildlife preserves in and
adjacent to the Sweetwater and Paradise Marshes that must be made
known to enable the project to proceed, and
WHEREAS, the City of National City, the City of Chula
Vista, and the San Diego Unified Port District are local agencies
involved in the construction of said project, and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned local agencies strongly
support the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel/Route 54 con-
struction project and all proposed mitigation currently associated
with said project, and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned local agencies are fully
aware of the responsibilities of State and Federal agencies
charged with maintaining and enhancing wildlife habitats and
earnestly desire to cooperate with such agencies in the reasonable
preservation of such habitats, and
WHEREAS, the local agencies vehemently support local
control of land use within the parameters of existing law and see
the Federal governments' preservation requirements over and above
mitigation as not consistent with local plans and, therefore, an
infringement upon the sovereignty of their respective agencies, and
WHEREAS, adequate legislation currently exists to ensure
the preservation of environmentally significant areas if and when
plans for additional projects are completed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the aforementioned
agencies, while strongly supporting the overall project, request
that all Federal and State reference to preservation, over and above
fair and reasonable mitigation requirements directly attributable
to the project be limited to those areas covered by existing local
plans.
BE IT FURTiiER RESOLVED that the local agencies request
expeditious resolution of this matter and call for the opportunity
to participate in any reevaluation of currently established miti-
gation requirements relative to this project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
joint resolution be distributed to those agencies recorded as being
represented at the bi-monthly Sweetwater River/Highway 54 Project
Coordinating Meetings and our local Congressional delegation.
