RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CFiULA
VISTA URGING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO SUPPORT
RESTRICTIOPd OF TiiE PROPOSED SWEETWATER RIVER FLOOD
CONTROL CHANNEL TO THE 1'dATURAL RIVER BOTTOM AT THE
A1OUTH OF THE SWEETWATER VALLEY BE TERP~IINATED AT
INTERSTATE 805
The City Council of_ the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has long supported the
original concept of the Sweetwater River Flood Control channel and
has worked diligently utilizing every possible means to insure the
installation of the channel concurrent with the improvement of the
connecting Freeway I-54 between I-5 and I-805, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista was the first community
to adopt flood plain zoning in the Sweetwater ~Ialiey to give evidence
of the community interest in combating flood problems, and
WI-IEREAS, it is now apparent that certain interests desire to
expand the concept of the Sweetwater River Flood Control channel going
beyond I-805 in an easterly direction, and
WHEREAS, such an extension and expansion of the original
concept would be highly detrimental to the interests of all of the
citizens of this area and would be especially influential in promot-
ing commercial development on an intensive scale within large areas
of the Sweetwater Valley, and
WHEREAS, it has long been the position of the City of Chula
Vista that proper land use regulations and zoning controls, as well
as government acquisition of certair, properties within flood plains,
would effectively control flooding damage without the necessity of
constructing expensive flood control channels which have through the
years proven to be relatively ineffective as well as extremely damaging
to the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City
of Chula Vista does hereby strongly urge the Board of Supervisors to
oppose any deviation from the original concept of the Sweetwater River
Flood Control channel and to limit its eastern extremis to I-805.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward
certified copies of this resolution to the Board of Supervisors of the
County of San Diego, State of California.
