RESOLUTION N0. 78-64
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT,
CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING ITS OPPOSITION TO THE HOUSING DISTRI-
BUTION PROPOSALS OF TNE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
GOVERNMENTS.
WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of California delegates to
each local city the power to plan for the welfare of its citizens; and
WHEREAS, it is the constitutional prerogative of each local city to
plan for its own development and economic needs; and
WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Governments
(hereinafter referred to as SCAG) has proposed its own housing allocation plan
for the region as a whole; and
WHEREAS, it is impossible for SCAG to take into account all the
local factors that go into individual Community Planning decisions; and
WHEREAS, the Coachella Valley is unique in that the cities have
united, through its Coachella Valley Association of Governments, to address the
issue of Housing on a subregional basis, and the Housing Allocation Model ignores
such progressive planning approaches; and
WHEREAS, SCAG's approach in this matter is considered an usurpation
of the power of local cities with respect to Planninq and Housing distribution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Palm Desert, California, that:
SECTION 1. The City Council strongly suggests that SCAG's Housing
Distribution Model be only applicable as a guide to local agencies and that the
level of attainment be specifically assigned to local agencies.
SECTION 2. The City Council urges all members of SCAG to express their
opposition to the proposed use of the SCAG Housing Allocation Model.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk is directed to transmit copies of this
Resolution to all members of SCAG to the end of enlisting their endorsement of
this Resolution and opposition to SCAG's increasing intrusion into local planning.
