VISTA ENDORSING AND SUPPORTING THE JUNE, 1994
MIRAMAR ADVISORY BALLOT MEASURE AND DESIGNATING
MIRAMAR AS THE PREFERRED SITE FOR THE SAN DIEGO
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
WHEREAS, the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego, and other governmental
agencies in the San Diego Region have been searching for new ways of providing better
airport service for the region, and as a result of the search, the County Board of Supervisors
have placed an advisory measure on the June, 1994 ballot to determine the feasibility of
Miramar as the preferred site for the San Diego International Airport; and,
WHEREAS, the City of San Diego, Progress Guide and General Plan for airports is to
support continued designation of Lindbergh Field as an airport and to pursue aggressively the
use of NAS Miramar as the region's air carrier airport if all or a major portion of NAS Miramar
is no longer required for national defense; and,
WHEREAS, traffic congestion may well be detrimental to maximum use of Lingbergh
Field.
WHEREAS, in today's global market, the region may well require a full-service airport
if it is to sustain in the 21st century a vibrant economy offering attractive employment, a
sound environment and an enviable quality of life; and,
WHEREAS, the region would be better served if the San Diego International Airport
was located in the geographic center of the traveling public of San Diego County, in keeping
with the California Transportation Plan, and to provide the best ground access; and,
WHEREAS, the San Diego International Airport would be an improved asset if located
in the geographic center of the air freight market to enhance economic visibility and diminish
road congestion associated by truck traffic.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby support and endorse the June, 1994 Miramar Advisory Ballot Measure
which states:
"The people of San Diego do hereby reaffirm their strong support
for the continued presence of the U. S. Military in the San Diego
region. However, if the U. S. Government decides to make NAS
Miramar available for civilian airport use, then should all
government officials cooperate to make every effort to relocate
Charles A. Lindbergh International Airport to Miramar?"
