CITY OF DOWNEY OPPOSING SENATE BILL NO. 6
ESTABLISHING AIRPORT HEIGHT ZONING RESTRICTIONS.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 6, introduced on January 7, 1969

runway for airports open to public use in California; and
WHEREAS, no structure, or natural growth designated as a
hazard to air navigation under Part 77 of the Federal Aviation
Agency's Rules and Regulations would be permitted within the
zones unless a permit for the construction or growth is granted
by the Division of Aeronautics of the California Department of
• Public Works; and
WHEREAS, the use of height restriction zoning as proposed
would result in the taking of air easements over property without
compensation to the owner;

DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That it strongly opposes Senate Bill No. 6
as an improper invasion by the State of local municipal exercise

similarly affected to oppose Senate Bill No. 6 and inform their
State Legislators of their opposition to said bill.
