Desert Club Drive and Avenida Bermudas on six occasions in 2001 and 2002, between
the hours of 5'00 and 11'00 P.M.; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the following facts and reasons to justify
approval of said Temporary Street Closure'
1. The temporary street closure is allowed based on Chapter 12.32.080 (D) of the
Municipal Code which permits t. he Council, by Resolution, to designate "no
parking" areas by signing or applying red paint to the street curbing. The
posting of "no parking" signs and installation of traffic barricades in all areas
necessary to ensure traffic safety as required by the Public Works Department,
shall be completed unless other arrangements are made with the Public Works
Director.
2. The temporary street closure will have minor impacts on the area because other
streets adjoining the site are available to provide access to the immediate
neighbors and the street closure involves the businesses along Calle Estado.
The affected property owners will be notified of the upcoming event pursuant
to Conditions of Temporary Use Permit 2001-310.

to ensure that the public is not at risk while attending the event.
