RESOLUTION NO. 4559
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ORANGE COUNTY MASTER PLAN
OF ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS AND RECOMMENDING STUDY BY STATE
HIGHWAY AUTHORITIES OF A PROPOSED ROUTING OF A
COASTAL HIGHWAY SERVING THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
AND OTHER COASTAL COMMUNITIES.
WHEREAS, the County of Orange after long and careful
study has developed a Master Plan of Arterial Highways for Orange
County (attached as Exhibit "A ") and said plan was after exten-
sive public review, including review by the City Council of the
City of Newport Beach, adopted by the Orange County Board of
Supervisors on May 31, 1956; and
WHEREAS, included on said plan are various suggested
"supplementary or alternate routes" designated by dotted lines,
one of which shows a proposed coastal highway routing inland of
the present Coast Highway 101A from the vicinity of Seal Beach to
the vicinity of Dana Point; and
WHEREAS, an early official determination as to the final
location of said coastal highway is of paramount concern to the
City of Newport Beach and to other coastal communities in that
planning and development of residential, commercial and recreational
areas is having to be curtailed pending such determination;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Newport Beach:
1. Endorses and approves the Master Plan of Arterial
Highways as adopted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors
May 31, 1956.
2. Hereby recommends to the State Division of Highways
and to the State Highway Commission approval in principle, and
immediate engineering study of the proposed routing of a
coastal highway as shown by dotted line on said Master Plan,
for the following reasons:
(1) The entire planning and development of the
present Newport Harbor area and of the Upper Bay area
in particular are dependent upon the early location
and development of a new and more suitable routing
of the coastal highway.

(2) The City of Newport Beach Master Plan of
Streets and Highways is currently being revised and
its.readoption is inseparably linked to the ultimate
location of the coastal highway,
(3) Economy of construction and ease of traffic
flow would both appear to be served by adoption of the
proposed coastal route, in comparison to widening and
further development of the existing Highway 101A with
consequent high cost of land acquisition, destruction
of valuable business and recreational properties, and
further concentration of traffic in already congested
areas.
(4) It is publicly known that the State Division
of Highways is taking preliminary steps to improve
traffic flow at the intersection of Highway 101A and
Highway 39 in the City of Huntington Beach. The plan-
ning and design of such improvements will have a mayor
effect on (a) the opportunity for needed inland expansion
of the Huntington Beach State Park and (b) the ultimate
routing of a new coast highway, and should be based on
a prior decision as to such routing,
(5) Sections of the proposed coastal route over
land owned by the Irvine Company have been preliminarily
engineered by the Irvine Company, and its willingness to
deed right -of -way for the proposed routing has been made
known to the Division of Highways.
(6) It is known that the present highway bridge
across Upper Newport Bay is inadequate and must in the
near future be replaced. It is obvious that the plan-
ning and future development of the Upper Bay depends
on the type and ultimate location of a new bridge.
(7) The proposed routing has the official approval
and endorsement of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce
and is of interest to communities and property owners
throughout its length.
