CC Resolution 9884
RESOLUTION NO 9884
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL ENDORSING THE CONCEPTS OF THE DRAFT
BAY AREA ALLIANCE COMPACT.
WHEREAS, The City of Campbell's economy, environmental resources, cultural amenities and
educational institutions make it a unique and special place; and
WHEREAS, in many growing cities, the entire Bay Area is undergoing rapid changes and faces
serious challenges; and
WHEREAS, traffic congestion, long commutes and overburdened transit systems, the lack of
sufficient housing and the skyrocketing housing costs, loss of open space, declining
neighborhoods, air and water pollution and the increasingly inequitable distribution of the
benefits of our thriving economy are interrelated problems that require integrated solutions; and
WHEREAS, sustaining a city as well as the region's environment and economy in a way that
ensures equity for all residents requires innovative thinking and "e-vision," a balanced,
integrated, inclusive, collaborative approach; and
WHEREAS, e-vision is a vision of the future that integrates the Three E's of Sustainable
Development (three E's): prosperous economy, quality environment and social equity. E-vision
is inclusive of all stakeholders and celebrates the region's diverse social, environmental and
environmental strengths; and
WHEREAS, the Bay Area Alliance for Sustainable Development (Bay Area Alliance) is a multi-
stakeholder coalition established in 1997 to develop and implement a sustainability action plan
for the Bay Area; and
WHEREAS, Sustainable development is defined as "to meet the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," and
WHEREAS, the overall goal of the Draft Bay Area Alliance Compact is to reach consensus
region-wide among a critical mass of stakeholder organizations and civic leaders regarding a
new shared vision rooted in common values and how the regions can grow in a more sustainable
manner; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Campbell joins
the overall effort of stakeholder organizations and civic leaders regarding a new shared vision
rooted in common values about how the region can grow in a more sustainable manner;
