RESOLUTION NO. 6473
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA REGARDING THE RESTORATION
OF OCEANSIDE AND OTHER NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY BEACHES.
WHEREAS, the erosion of beaches is a regional problem
affecting all beaches in North San Diego County from Oceanside
to La Jolla; and
WHEREAS, the problem is currently most severe on the beaches
within the City of Oceanside; and
WHEREAS, the best available engineering and scientific
evidence indicates that a primary cause of the erosion problem
is the federal government's construction of the Marine Corps'
Del Mar Boat Basin and appurtenant ocean structures; and
WHEREAS, the federal government has acknowledged and accepted
responsibility for correcting said problem; and
WHEREAS, interim short-term solutions to the erosion problem
such as the current effort involving the dredging of Oceanside
Harbor and placing the dredged material on the beaches are neither
effective, nor cost efficient; and
WHEREAS, a truly effective permanent solution to the regional
beach erosion problem requires immediate stabilization of the
Oceanside beaches coupled with the prompt installation of a
permanent sand bypass system which will transport sand from north
of the Del Mar Boat Basin to the beaches of Oceanside and cities
to the south; and
WHEREAS, the Army Corps of Engineers has prepared a Survey
Report dated September, 1980, studying the beach erosion problem
and proposing four alternative solutions;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
5ty of Carlsbad that:
1. The Corps of Engineers be encouraged to promptly design,
2onstruct and put into operation an effective, permanent sand
Dypass system which will transport sand from north of the Del
dar Boat Basin to the beaches of Oceanside and cities to the south.
2. The system constructed be designed to restore to the
Eullest extent possible, the natural flow of sand to the beaches
3f North San Diego County to alleviate the regional beach erosion
?roblems.
3. The Corps of Engineers be urged to act immediately to
stablize Oceanside's beaches to prevent further destruction of
public and private property in Oceanside and communities to the
south of Oceanside.
4. The City Council believes the preferred solution would
be a permanent sand bypass system to restore the natural sand
novement along the coast. Other measures suggested in the Survey
Report such as offshore breakwater, do not seem to offer a
satisfactory solution to the problem,
5. If a permanent sand bypass system does not resolve the
total problem, the City Council recognizes that future structures
may be required, not only in Oceanside but also in Carlsbad and
southerly.
6. The City Council supports ongoing studies of the beach
erosion and sand movement problems along the San Diego County
beaches and supports solutions acceptable to affected local
communities.
