A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE
APPROPRIATION OF FUNDING BY THE LA QUINTA
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR ACQUISITION OF
PROPERTY FOR AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TURN LANE ON
THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET
AND HIGHWAY 111 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") is engaging
in activities necessary to carry out and implement the Redevelopment Plan (the
"Redevelopment Plan") for La Quinta Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 (the "Project"
of the "Project Area"); and
WHEREAS, one of the specified activities in the Redevelopment Plan is the
assistance with rehabilitating or constructing certain public improvements, including,
but not limited to, public street improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta has adopted a Resolution
of Necessity relating to the acquisition of APN 604-050-011 for the Washington Street
right turn lane at Highway 111 in La Quinta within the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445, the evidence
demonstrates that: (1) the acquisition of the property needed for these street
improvements is of benefit to the Project Area and the immediate neighborhood of the
street improvements since it will improve the flow of traffic, enhance vehicular safety
at the intersection, and reduce vehicular delays; (2) no other reasonable means of
financing the acquisition are available to the community, in that General Funds are not
available and no other funding source has been identified; and (3) the payment of
funds for the acquisition and construction of improvement will assist in the elimination
of one or more blighting conditions inside the Project Area since the Highway
111/Washington Street intersection has been identified as an "impacted intersection"
with insufficient capacity for the current and anticipated future traffic levels.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA DOES
HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are incorporated as true and correct and are
