A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EULESS, TEXAS, EXPRESSING FIRM OPPOSITION TO RE-
STRICTIONS BEING CONSIDERED TO BE PLACED ON LOCAL
LAND USE REGULATIONS WITHIN CERTAIN TERRITORIES
SURROUNDING AIRPORTS.
WHEREAS, the Secretary of Transportation of the Department of
Transportation is considering certain recommendations of an Aviation
System Capacity Task Force; and
WHEREAS, among those recommendations is a provision that would preempt
the planning, zoning and land use powers of local governments on any
land within the local municipality which is situated within the 65 ldn
noise contour surrounding airports, regardless of whether the land is
owned by the airport operator or other owners; and
WHEREAS, it is believed that such a change in rules would violate and
preempt the constitutionally guaranteed rights of local governments to
manage their local affairs and would further be in conflict with the
Presidential Executive Order on Federalism, Number 12612 dated October
26, 1987.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EULESS, TEXAS:
Section 1
That it go on record in opposition to the proposed recommendation
regarding preemption of local land use controls and that it further
call upon its elected Congressmembers, Senators and other officials to
use their voice and positions to support the position of the people of
