COUNTRY CLUB PROPERTIES, LP
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 24'" day of October, 2000, consider the request of COUNTRY CLUB
PROPERTIES, LP for a street vacation of a portion of 53RD Avenue, east of Jefferson
Street; and,
WHEREAS, State Government Code Section 65402 requires that prior to
streets being vacated by the City Council, the Planning Commission make a finding
that the proposed street vacation is consistent with the City General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, said Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory
Findings confirming that the proposed street vacation is consistent with the City
General Plan:
A. The Circulation Element of the City General Plan indicates the portion of 53RD
Avenue under consideration for vacation as a collector street which distributes
traffic from adjacent properties to surrounding arterials. 53RD Avenue is not
planned to extend west of the project site (part of The Ranch Specific Plan area)
and would only be needed in the project area for traffic generated by this
project. Access to this project is planned only on Jefferson Street and on 53RD
Avenue near Monroe Street in the area of the street proposed to remain.
Properties on the north side of 53RD Avenue, between the vacated portion and
Monroe Street will continue to have access to Monroe Street via 53RD Avenue.
Therefore, the portion of the street under consideration for vacation is not
needed for traffic purposes and consistent with the City General Plan.
B. Public utility easements in the vacated portion of 53RD Avenue will remain or be
relocated as required by the respective utility companies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the Planning
Commission in this case;
