AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approva
Item to be presented by:
DATE: October 24, 2000
SUBJECT: REGIONAL AIRPORT PLAN FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Building Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive presentation from City of El Segundo Mayor Gordon, receive staff presentation and
Provide direction based on alternative actions described below.
BACKGROUND
A coalition of over 95 cities, counties and governmental agencies are working to develop a
regional solution to the dramatically increasing aviation demand in Southern California.
The Coalition is united in support of a plan that constrains Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) to the capacity of its existing facilities and fairly distribute the benefits and
burdens of air commerce in Southern California. Specifically, there is a great deal of effort
to limit the proposed expansion of LAX because of concerns over excess noise, congestion,
air pollution and reduced safety in overcrowded skies. New airport demand is largely a
product of the projected growth in population and increases in employment in Southern
California.
This coalition is concerned that centralizing airport facilities at Los Angeles International
Airport does not make sense when the population of Southern California becomes
increasingly decentralized. They point to the several existing airports available to serve the
needs of the region, which include March, Norton, George, Palm Springs, Ontario, Burbank,
and Palmdale airports. It is the belief of the coalition that these airports need regional
support to gain the resources they need for development in order to give them a fair share
of the air commerce and marketplace.
The Antelope Valley cities of Lancaster and Palmdale are not on the list of supporters of
this coalition.
