RESOLUTION NO. 16,353
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL
CITY REQUESTING THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
TO CONVENE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE PROPOSED
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY
WHEREAS, the State of California has granted to
the San Diego Unified Port District tide and submerged lands
within the bay of San Diego upon the express condition that
they be developed for the promotion of commerce, navigation,
fisheries and recreation; and
WHEREAS, the population of San Diego County
continues to grow dramatically as the region attracts new
industry, commerce and international attention; and
WHEREAS, the recreational resource represented by
San Diego Bay is highly developed in its northern areas, and
relatively underdeveloped in its southern portion; and
WHEREAS, an opportunity exists to carry out the
will of the Legislature and the populace in providing
greater public recreational access to the bay by the
development of public works improvements in and around
southern San Diego Bay; and
WHEREAS, recreational developments along the
shoreline of the bay require continuing coordination with
the many regulatory agencies concerned with the preservation
of environmental quality and the maintenance of ecological
balance in estuarine areas; and
WHEREAS, these planning and coordinating efforts
must precede physical developments in order that all parties
having expertise and jurisdiction in the matter may have an
opportunity to participate; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
proposed the designation of South San Diego Bay, including
most of the area south of J Street in Chula Vista, Emory
Cove, and the salt works as a wildlife refuge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of National City, that the City Council hereby requests that
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service be urged to convene
public hearings on the proposed wildlife sanctuary with
notice and invitation to San Diego County, to the member
cities of the District, private property owners of the South
Bay area, and others who have expertise or jurisdiction in
the land, water, or subject matters of recreation and
conservation.
