RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA REQUESTING THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY TO
DEVELOP AND ADOPT A POLICY WHICH PROVIDES FOR PRIORITY
ALLOCATION OF WATER SUPPLIES TO THOSE CITIES VOLUNTARILY
IMPLEMENTING WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES
WHEREAS, on August 13, 1993 Mayor Nader introduced the Interagency Water
Task Force with the concept of a "Water Availability Plan for Economic
Development", and further discussions have been held with this Task Force
regarding a proposal to assure qualifying businesses an uninterrupted water
supply with the intent of avoiding disruptions of existing plant operations and
potentially resulting job losses, as well as creating an incentive for new
business to locate here; and,
WHEREAS, on November 9, 1993 Council directed staff to develop a policy to
provide priority water allocation to qualifying industries during times of
drought in order to insure the least possible interruption of water supplies to
those industries which would be most impacted and/or are targeted recruitment
prospects; and,
WHEREAS, Mayor Nader had suggested that the city work with the water
districts to assure no net negative impact on water availability by reducing
General Plan density (with exemptions for developers independently pursuing water
availability measures); and,
WHEREAS, the relationship of growth management policies as related to water
conservation might be best addressed on a regional basis; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista wishes to take a leadership role in water
conservation measures and in job retention and creation.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA does hereby
find, order, determine and resolve that a request be made to the San Diego County
Water Authority to develop and adopt a policy which provides for priority
allocation of limited water supplies to those cities within its jurisdiction
voluntarily implementing water conservation measures.
