A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA EXPRESSING ITS
OPPOSITION TO AB l324 (RALPH) PURPORTING
TO RESTRICT THE POWER OF MUNICIPALITIES
TO REGULATE THE PARTICULAR DAYS UPON
WHICH HORSE RACING MAY BE CONDUCTED.
WHEREAS, a spot bill, AB l324 (Ralph), was amended in
committee on May 30, 1973, for the sole purpose of restricting
the power of municipalities to make reasonable regulations
relating to the particular days upon which horse racing is
permitted; and
WHEREAS, the effect of this proposed legislation
would be to usurp the power of municipalities and other local
agencies to enact lawful zoning regulations for the purpose of
reasonably regulating the use of race track properties; and
WHEREAS, the nature of race track 9peration demands
special zoning regulations not applicable to other uses; and
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that Sunday racing be
permitted at the Santa Anita Race Track located in the City of
Arcadia; and
WHEREAS, the traffic congestion, parking congestion and
noise of Sunday racing would have a seriously adverse effect on
the quality of community and home life in the surrounding resi-
dential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, under present racing regulations, Sunday is '
the one day of the week when community and home life can be
enjoyed by the residents of Arcadia during the racing season;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Arcadia is unalterably opposed to the enactment
of AB 1324 and hereby expresses such opposition to the State
