ANNEXATIONS AND GIVING ASSURANCE THAT SANTA ANAH~ FROM THE BE-
GINNING, DOES NOW AND WILL CONTINUALLY DOALL THINGS LAWFULLY IN
ITS POWER TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
CAMPUS AREA AND PERIPHERAL LAND.
WHEREAS, there has been public expression of the desirabil-
ity of locating a college or university on the Irvine Ranch Mesa
Southeasterly of the intersection of Main Street and Newport
Avenue since the middle 1930's which was then urged by some members
of the Santa Aha School Board, by many far-sighted citizens in the
City and tentatively approved by James Irvine, and
WHEP~S, from the earliest discussion of the location of
a new university campus in said area Santa Aha has officially
expressed its desire for such location as being logical, econom-
ical and ideally situated to serve the needs of Southern California,
and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Aha has officially expressed
its firm intention and desire to fully cooperate with the Irvine
Company and follow the requests and suggestions of said Company
in all matters relating to annexation, development and use of any
of its land, and
WHEREAS, it has traditionally been the policy of the City
of Santa Ana to afford municipal services through annexation only
to areas desiring such services from the City of Santa Aha, and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Aha believes the area now under
consideration by the University of California to be the best
possible site choice for a new University of California campus
and views this selection as the culmination of a Santa Ana plan
after more than twenty years.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT Pd~SOLVED: That the City of Santa Ana
respects the intention of the University of California and the
Irvine Company to study said area and reach any decision which
they deem best suited to serve the new campus and the surrounding
area which will constitute the University community and to arrive
at the most efficient, economical and desirable manner of pro-
viding necessary municipal services to said area by the incorpor-
ation of said area as a new and separate city, by operating said
area under the stewardship of the Supervisors of Orange County in
an unincorporated status or by annexing said area to either of the
two cities qualified and able to provide high quality municipal
services to said area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City of Santa Ana enter-
tains no interest in annexing any portion of the land proposed for
this community unless expressly invited so to do by the Board of
Regents of the University of California and the Board of Directors
of the Irvine Company by written communication, duly authorized
by official action of the governing boards of said two organiza-
tions, and that the City Council of the City of Santa Aha will by
official expression resist any uninvited attempt to annex any of
said land by any other city and will refuse to take any action to
further any annexation of any of said area except on the official
and expressed request as hereinabove set out.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVDD: That the City of Santa Ana
believes that this virgin area can best serve the people of this
State and County by being adequately planned and restricted in use
and design before any change in surface topography or any construc-
tion ks undertaken or approved and seeks now only the best interest
of the State, the greatest service to the citizens of Southern
California and the greatest economy to the tax payers of the State
in the creation, operation and servicing of a major new campus of
the University of California in the area originally selected by
leading citizens of the City of Santa Aha.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa
