Resolution Number 74-7-3-2217
RESOLUTION NO. 74-7- 3-2
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
URGING THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF BEACHES
AND PARKS TO UTILIZE A LARGER PORTION
OF DOHENY STATE PARK FOR OPEN BEACH
WHEREAS, the unprecedented population growth in South
Orange County has materially reduced the proportionate area of
open beaches; and
WHEREAS, this Council believes that the open beach is
a precious natural resource which ought to remain open and acces-
sible; and
WHEREAS, a large portion of Doheny Park Beach is, because
of its rocky condition, unavailable for use and enjoyment for many
days during the summer; and
WHEREAS, it is the understanding of this City Council
that the State of California, in its proposed expansion of Doheny
State Park, plans to utilize two-thirds of the newly acquired beach
area for the use of campers and the remaining one-third for open
beach use; and
WHEREAS, the expansion of camper facilities will, in our
opinion, tend to further restrict the availability of open beaches
for the general use and enjoyment of the public; and
WHEREAS, this Council further believes that open beaches
and the availability thereof should be expanded and increased and
not restricted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby respectfully urge the
State Department of Parks and Beaches to reconsider their proposal
and to utilize and maintain a larger portion of the newly acquired
ocean front property as open beach for the general enjoyment of
the people of all of South Orange County.
