BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Arroyo Grande as follows: WHEREAS, there exists within the Federal Housing and Urban Development Act a program for financial aid to local governmental entities for water and sewer facilities, subject to available funds and to certain conditions es- tablished by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Public Law 89-177; and WHEREAS, effective October 1, 1969, there will go into effect for ap- proval of grants from the Department of Housing .and Urban Development for water and sewer facilities the condition that both short range and long range plans for water and sewer facilities, capital outlay, and land use be i performed for the entire planning area before any grant will be approved ~ for any project within such planning area; and WHEREAS, the Department of Housing .and Urban Development recognizes as a single planning area the entire County of San Luis Obispo, and, as a consequence, complete water and sewer facilities, capital outlay, and land use plans would have to be performed for the entire area of said County be- fore any grant from said Department would be made for a project located within said County; and WHEREAS, the consolidation of San Luis Obispo County into a single planning .area is not logical in view of this County's large geographic erea and the diversified economy; and WHEREAS, the amount of time and cost required for the completion of such county-wide studies and planning .are prohibitive to the degree that compliance would be virtually impossible within the foreseeable future for this County; and WHEREAS, the proposed conditions will place an overwhelming and in- equitable burden On San Luis Obispo County and many other counties, parti- cularly in the western United States, which in reality contain a consider- able number of separate and distinct economic and geographical areas there-. in, each of which would have to be planned separately in order to comply with said conditions; and WHEREAS, there exists within certain communities within San Luis Obispo County critical public health hazards which are proposed to be alleviated by currently-planned water and sewer projects wherein federal financial assistance is urgently needed to supplement local financial resources in order to avoid extreme financial distress. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande, State of California, as follows: 1. The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande urges the Depart- ment of Housing .and Urban Development, for purposes of determining .compli- ance with the Department's area-wide planning .requirements, .to recognize as separate planning units such areas within counties which, because of geographic and economic factors, may logically be treated as separate plan- ning .areas, and require only that those units be planned as required in the regulations of the Department projects within said units. 2.
