A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, growth and development of the City are continuously
z(ikpanding in proximity to the long - established United States Navy auxiliary
training fields known as Waldron Field and Cabaniss Field, Main Station,
N.A.S., Corpus Christi, and the City's International Airport; and
WHEREAS•, the U. S. Naval aviation training program requires the
use of NAS Corpus Christi, Waldron and Cabaniss Fields and International
Airport, which in turn necessitates flight patterns creating varying levels
of noise,intensity; and
WHEREAS, such noise has caused complaints from residents living
in proximity to such flight patterns; and
WHEREAS, special Council commissioned studies, Tracor Reports
#076 -220 (December, 1974) and #076 -205 (March, 1974) have defined the land
areas most adversely affected by the various noise levels generated by such
flight patterns; and
WHEREAS, the existence, development and maintenance of the afore-
mentioned Navy installations for a period of some thirty -five years and of
International Airport for almost twenty years represent an investment by
the government and the local community of many millions of dollars, and
provides income to local and national government employees, who comprise a
substantial segment of the Corpus Christi work force; and
WHEREAS, orderly development of the City's economic base and resi-
dential areas requires the allocation of land for places of employment and
areas of living; and
WHEREAS, sound and proper planning dictates that the areas between
places of employment and living be transitioned in an orderly manner so that
there is the least interference of either one by the other and the related
uses can be so arranged as to provide maximum use and enjoyment of supporting
activities and facilities which are so arranged as to provide for an efficient
and effective community; and
WHEREAS, as a result of a series of conferences between repre-
sentatives of the U. S. Navy and City officials, it has been determined and
agreed that it is to the advantage and best interest of all parties concerned,
