RESOLUTION NO. ! 1, - "to
A RESOLUTION stating opposition to proposed Initiative
No. 43.
WHEREAS proposed Initiative No. 43 sponsored by the
Washington Environmental Council would, in our opinion, lead to
I the concentration o~ immense planning powers in the hands of one
appointive official in Olympia and would further require the
establishment of a vast bureaucracy remote from the people and the
local officials who are better advised as to the needs and desires
for land-use regulation as expressed in planning and zoning codes;
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port
Angeles that it go on record as opposing any legislation such as
proposed Initiative No. 43 which would delegate to State or
Federal Bureaus the authority to dictate and control the develop-
ment and use of res~dential, recreational or industrial lands
within the borders of this City, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we support legislative action
to strengthen local planning and zoning to provide protection for
the environment and requiring that shoreland areas receive special
consideration.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles and
approved by its Mayor at a regular meeting of the Council held on
