A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA,
STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES FOR AIRPORT
CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the Southern California area including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San
Bernardino and Ventura Counties is served by more commercial airports than any other major
metropolitan area in the United States; and
WHEREAS, available Southern California Airports include: Los Angeles International
Airport, Burbank Airport, Long Beach Airport, Ontario International Airport, Orange County
Airport, Palmdale Airport, March G1obalPort, San Bernardino International Airport, Southern
California Logistics Airport, and Palm Springs Regional Airport; and
WHEREAS, the greatest population growth in Southern California during the coming
centuries will occur in the Inland Empire Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino; and
WHEREAS, Los Angeles International Airport, Burbank Airport, Long Beach Airport, and
Orange County Airport are all located in highly urbanized areas where environmental concerns and
community resistance make further expansion difficult; and
WHEREAS, March G1obalPort, San Bernazdino International Airport, Southern California
Logistics Airport, Ontazio International Airport and Palm Springs Regional are well located to serve
future Southern California aviation needs and have great unused capacity; and
WHEREAS, the cities neaz Ontario Airport, March G1obalPort, San Bernardino
International Airport, Southern Califomia Logistics Airport, and Pahn Springs Regional Airport are
supportive of those airports and would greatly benefit from the increased use of those facilities; and
WHEREAS, increasing freeway traffic into Orange and LA Counties will make ground
access to coastal airports extremely difficult and attempts to mitigate the surface access challenges
to these airports will siphon off transportation dollars that otherwise could be used to solve traffic
challenges in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that City of Lake Elsinore favors and supports
the development and utilization ofwell-located aviation facilities available at Southern California
Logistics Airport, Ontario International Airport, March G1obalPort, San Bernardino International
Airport and Palm Springs Regional Airport; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is good public policy to direct air traffic to airports
with excess capacity rather than spending billions of dollars to expand capacity in highly populated
areas; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that regional planning agencies should focus their energies
on improving surface transportation links among existing airports and population centers; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elsinore agrees to work with local
economic development organization and regional planning agencies to satisfy Southern California's
future aviation needs by encouraging and fostering commercial passenger and/or cargo service at San
Bernardino International Airport, Southern California Logistics Airport, Ontario International
Airport, March G1obalPort, and Palm Springs Regional Airport.
