CC RESOLUTION 2184RESOLUTION NO. 2184
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, URGING
DEFEAT OF SENATE BILL NO. 255 LIMITING
STRUCTURE HEIGHT NEAR AIRPORTS.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 255 purports to amend the
Public Utilities Code to prohibit the construction of a structure within
one statute mile of the exterior boundary of any publicly owned airport
at a height to constitute a hazard, as defined by Part 77 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations of the Federal Aviation Agency, and is an unreason-
able control and restriction imposed upon local government by federal
bureaucracy; and
WHEREAS, a requirement of a Federal Aviation Agency
determination in determining whether construction or natural growth
of foliage creates an unsafe or safe condition, presents a pattern pur-
suant to which the ultimate determination of a local matter may be the
subject of a Federal Agency interpretation in Washington, D. C.; and
WHEREAS, the imposition of a height limitation within the
distance of one mile of the external perimeter of an airport is a harsh
and unfair enactment, particularly when an affected community may be
located on either side of an airport and not in a general flight pattern
are a; and
WHEREAS, the taking from local government of local con-
trol by the state government and replacing it with the determination of
a federal agency is unconscionable;

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, does hereby
urge the members of the State Legislature to defeat the enactment of
said Senate Bill No. 255; and
