VISTA, CA \u2014 The City of Vista is expected to become one of the latest cities in San Diego County to implement a ban on single-use plastic bottles at local events after city leaders adopted an ordinance that would limit the sale and distribution of plastic water bottles.<\/p>\n

In a 4-1 vote, the Vista city council adopted an ordinance last week that would restrict the sale and distribution of single-use plastic water bottles under one liter at city-affiliated events and on city-owned property. Mayor John Franklin was the dissenting vote on the ordinance.<\/p>\n

The ordinance would also impact vendors and entities that rent city-owned property for events.<\/p>\n

The city council recommended the ordinance include suggestions made at Tuesday’s meeting, including a three-year delay on implementation for youth sporting events and events with more than 30,000 attendees.<\/p>\n

The ordinance would also restrict the use of city funds to purchase plastic water bottles with a capacity of less than one liter.<\/p>\n

Additional San Diego County cities that have already implemented similar ordinances include San Diego, Solano Beach, Coronado, and most recently Del Mar.<\/p>\n

Many of the local residents who attended the meeting expressed support for the ordinance, saying the proliferation of single-use plastic bottles have a negative impact on the beach community and ocean.<\/p>\n

In a related matter, the council also asked city staff to an develop ordinance that would restrict local merchants from selling polystyrene products such as disposable cups.<\/p>\n

Officials said the city will concentrate its efforts on educating the local community about the new regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VISTA, CA \u2014 The City of Vista is expected to become one of the latest cities in San…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-435908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
