RESOLUTION NO. 4302
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE NEED FOR ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES
AS MANDATED IN CALIFORNIA'S LOW EMISSION VEHICLE AND
CLEAN FUELS REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, the Orange County Regional Advisory and Planning
Council is a body appointed to review and make recommendations to
local jurisdictions within Orange County on air quality issues and
in that role has considered this matter; and
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Basin is classified as an
"extreme" nonattainment area for ozone in accordance with the
requirements of both Federal and State Clean Air Acts; and
WHEREAS, the adopted Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for
the South Coast Air Basin seeks pollution control programs based on
the concept of balanced emission reductions from all sources; and
WHEREAS, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted a
Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) and Clean Fuels Program which requires
that two percent of the vehicles produced for sale in the State
must be zero - emission vehicles (ZEV) starting in 1998, five percent
by 2001, and ten percent by 2003; and
WHEREAS, the AQMP for the South Coast Air Basin relies
strongly on the implementation of the State of California LEV
program in order to make timely progress toward and to ultimately
achieve the Federal ozone air quality standard; and
WHEREAS, the ARB is required to evaluate the progress in
achieving the standards set forth in the Low Emission Vehicle
regulation in 1994.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that relaxation of the ZEV
regulations by the ARB will require the South Coast Air Quality
Management District to seek additional emission reductions from
local stationary sources which can only be achieved at greater
expense; and
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Cypress, based on the Orange
County Regional Advisory and Planning Council's recommendations
reflecting the latest technical information available, supports the
need for the continuation of the California Low Emission Vehicle
and Clean Fuels program, especially Zero Emission Vehicles.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress
at a regular meeting held on the 25th day of April 1994.
