ITEM TITLE: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a STUDY SESSION:
Street Closure Permit for the Annual Greater
Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby to be held April 8, PUBLIC HEARING:
2000, on Avenida Bermudas
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council approving the temporary closure of Avenida
Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and the side streets to the west
that connect to Avenida Navarro for the annual Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box
Derby on April 8, 2000.
During the March 7, 2000 City Council Meeting, City Council approved an amount of
$2,700 to support the Soap Box Derby. In addition, $500 was budgeted for the Soap
Box Derby Operating Materials in Account No. 101-453-703-847. The total amount
available to support the Soap Box Derby is $3,200. Of the money available, the
estimated allocation is as follows:
Franchise Fee . $1,300
In Kind Services $1,400
Operating Materials $ 500
Total $3,200
None.
On March 6, 2000, representatives of the Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby
applied for a temporary use permit to hold their annual event on April 8, 2000,
between the hours of 5:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. The Community Development
Department will issue Minor Use Permit 2000-198 after they receive comments from
potentially effected agencies.
TAMDEMCOUNCU2000\000321 g.wpd
The proposed race route is identical to the route used in previous years, and requires
the closure of Avenida Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and closure
of the side streets to the west that connect to Avenida Navarro which include Calle
Arroba, Calle Colima, Calle Monterey, Calle Chihuahua, and Calle Nogales.
Temporary street closures are allowed if the City Council adopts a Street Closure
Resolution pursuant to Municipal Code Section 12.32. If the Resolution is approved,
the Public Works Department will issue an Encroachment Permit pursuant to Municipal
Code Section 12.16 that requires the implementation of traffic safety measures
including traffic control signs, barricades, and other safety measures.
The temporary street closure will have minimal impacts on the surrounding area
because other streets adjoining the site are available to provide access to the
surrounding residential properties. The affected property owners will be notified of the
upcoming event pursuant to the conditions of Minor Use Permit 2000-198.
Approval of the temporary street closure will not create conditions that may threaten
the public's health and safety needs of the community because specific conditions will
be imposed as a part of Minor Use Permit 2000-198.
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council approving the temporary closure of
Avenida Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and the side streets
to the west that connect to Avenida Navarro for the annual Greater Coachella
Valley Soap Box Derby on April 8, 2000; or
2. Do not adopt a Resolution of the City Council approving the temporary closure
of Avenida Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and the side
streets to the west that connect to Avenida Navarro for the annual Greater
Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby on April 8, 2000; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

RESOLUTION 2000-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO
ALLOW THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF AVENIDA
BERMUDAS BETWEEN CALLE ARROBA AND CALLE
NOGALES AND THE SIDE STREETS TO THE WEST THAT
CONNECT TO AVENIDA NAVARRO, ON APRIL 8, 2000,
FROM 5:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M. FOR THE GREATER
COACHELLA VALLEY SOAP BOX DERBY
WHEREAS, the Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby has applied for
City Council approval to close Avenida Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle
Nogales, and the side streets to the west that connect to Avenida Navarro, for their
special outdoor event to be held April 8, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on the 216t day of March, 2000, reviewed
and heard public testimony on this request to temporarily close Avenida Bermudas
between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and those interconnecting streets to the west
between the hours of 5:00 A.M. and 7:00 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 the City Council, by Resolution, to designate
"temporary no parking" areas by placing signs adjacent to the street curb. The
posting of "no parking" signs and installation of traffic barricades in all areas
necessary to ensure traffic safety shall be completed as required by the Public
Works Encroachment Permit.
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 surrounding the race event. The affected property owners will be
notified of the upcoming event as required by Minor Use Permit 2000-198.
3. The City can grant an encroachment permit to allow activities on public streets
for specific periods if legitimate reasons are found to allow the closure and
safety standards (Chapter 12.16 of the Municipal Code, Traffic -Control
Devices) are provided, such as traffic barricades and "no parking" signs to
ensure that the public is not "at risk" while attending the special event.
4. Approval of the temporary street closure will not create conditions that may
TAMDEFRCOUNCI02000\00032Ig.wpd 004
threaten the public health and safety needs of the community at the various
events because specific conditions will be imposed and shall be met.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
Section 1. That the above citations are true and correct and constitute the
findings and requirements of the City Council in this case.
Section 2. The City Council approves the closure of portions of Avenida
Bermudas between Calle Arroba and Calle Nogales and the side streets to the west
that connect to Avenida Navarro (Exhibit "A") from 5:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. subject
to conditions imposed by the Public Works and Community Development
Departments.
Section 3. The City Engineer, or his designee, will issue an Encroachment
Permit (Chapter 14.16 of the Municipal Code) to the Greater Coachella Valley Soap
Box Derby regulating the closure of the streets provided certain traffic control
standards and the Conditions of Approval for Minor Use Permit 2000-198 are met.
Section 4. "No parking" signs will be posted (Chapters 12.16 and 12.32 of
the Municipal Code) as required by the Public Works Director, a minimum of 24 -hours
prior to the event. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department will tow any
unauthorized vehicle within this area at the time of the event.
Section 5. In case of bad weather, the City Manager is authorized to
reschedule the street closure provided all conditions of approval under Minor Use
Permit 2000-198 are met.
Section 6. The Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby personnel shall
obtain an Encroachment Permit from the Public Works Department, including a traffic
control plan, prior to closing the streets, and make arrangements to install all traffic
safety signs and barricades prior to the closure of said streets.
Section 7. A condition of Minor Use Permit 2000-198 shall be to have
Riverside County Sheriff's Department personnel on hand to assist the applicant with
on-site security and provide traffic control measures needed to carry out the street
closure permit.
Section 8. The City Council authorizes City staff or other assigned safety
personnel to close the event if at any time all safety standards are not being met, and

6. CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE GREATER COACHELLA
VALLEY SOAP BOX DERBY.
There were no changes to the staff report as submitted and on file in the City
Clerk's Office.
Council Member Adolph asked about including "La Quinta" in the title since
La Quinta is the only City that financially supports the event and asked if other
cities are asked to contribute.
Lucia Moran, P. O. Box 1305, stated she has asked other cities to support the
event and that the Soap Box Derby headquarters in Akron, Ohio requires the
name of the local group to reflect the geographic area involved in the local
event, which includes the entire valley area. She stated the City logo will be
prominent in Fox's new commercial.
A brief discussion ensued wherein Council expressed their desire to have the
City's name listed in some prominent manner if possible.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Adolph to approve the
Community Services Grant request by the Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box
Derby in the amount of $2,700 from the Special Projects Contingency Account.
Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 2000-43.
2. CONSIDERATION OF SITE AMENITIES FOR THE COVE OASIS/LAKE CAHUILLA
TRAIL, PROJECT NO. 98-18.
Public Works Director Vogt reviewed the site amenities alternatives for the Cove
Oasis/Lake Cahuilla Trail as outlined in the staff report, advising that Kim
Rhodes, of David Evans and Associates, was present to answer questions.
