RESOLUTION NO. 3943
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
URGING THE EXTENSION OF THE OPERATING LIMITS AND RAIL LINES
OF THE SANTA FE RAILROAD INTO THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows :
WHEREAS , the operating limits of the Santa Fe Railroad
presently terminate at the southerly boundaries of the City of National
City, and
WHEREAS , such limits prevent the Santa Fe Railroad from
extending rail service over their own rails into the City of Chula
Vista, and more specifically into lands suitable for industrial develop-
ment owned by the Santa Fe Railroad within the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS , such a limitation necessitating the use of San
Diego and Arizona Eastern Railroad lines imposes an additional charge
upon freight delivered by Santa Fe Railroad, and
WHEREAS , such additional charges result in an increased
cost to any present or potential industrial or manufacturing operations
within the City of Chula Vista, creating a differential in freight
rates imposed upon such present and future industrial development
over and above rates paid by industries in the City of National City
and the City of San Diego, and
WHEREAS , such a differential frustrates and curtails the
industrial development of the Santa Fe Railroad property which
detrimentally affects the entire economic community of Chula Vista.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista that the Santa Fe Railroad be urged to immediately
apply to the Interstate Commerce Commission for an extension of their
operating limits and their own lines from the southern boundaries of
the City of National City into the City of Chula Vista, to and including
those lands owned by the Santa Fe Railroad.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Council does endorse such
extension of operating limits and Santa Fe Railroad lines , and offers
every assistance and aid possible in the filing of said application,
and support at the public hearings which may be held by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
