A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
SUPPORTING PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AT BOLSA CHICA.
WHEREAS, residents of Cypress have always looked to the nearby Pacific
Ocean and the Orange County Coastline for unique recreational opportunity
and, in particular, have enjoyed the pleasures of recreational boating
and boat harbor ambience; and
WHEREAS, there is a shortage of boat berths, boat storage, and launching
facilities and, particularly of affordable berths provided in public marinas,
to serve the thousands of boating enthusiasts in Cypress and other proximate
parts of Orange and Los Angeles Counties; and
WHEREAS, Cypress residents have petitioned for provision at Bolsa
Chica of ocean access via a new navigable entrance channel, public waterways,
public berthing for 1800 recreational craft, public launching facilities
and attendant visitor -serving lodging, dining, and shopping facilities;
and
WHEREAS, it is our belief and expectation that provision of additional
ocean tidal flow will improve the water quality of the California Department
of Fish and Game Ecological Reserve, as well as the existing public waterways
of Sunset Aquatic Park and of Huntington Harbour; and
WHEREAS, it is our belief and expectation that provision of additional
ocean tidal flow will make possible restoration of salt marsh and planned
expectation of the Ecological Reserve; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has unanimously
adopted a Bolsa Chica local coastal program and land use plan that achieves
a balance of uses and satisfies the many public objectives of the California
Coastal Act, including resource conservation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Cypress respectfully petitions the public officials of the State of
California, particularly the California Coastal Commission, to take the
necessary steps to provide for public recreational boating at Bolsa Chica,
including public berthing facilities and a new navigable ocean entrance
in order to better utilize the vast ocean resource and its great potential
for providing necessary recreation for the citizens of Cypress.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
endorses the County of Orange Land Use Plan for Bolsa Chica as being responsive
to the recreational and housing needs of all of the County residents,
including those from Cypress, as being environmentally sensitive and progressive
in its restoration approach, being fiscally sound and stimulating to the
regional economy by providing thousands of construction -related and permanent
jobs.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at
