WHEREAS, pursuant to the Municipal Zoning Code, the La Quinta Arts
Foundation has applied for and received approval, under Temporary Use Permit 99-
208, for their La Quinta Arts Festival event to be held on March 16-19, 2000,

Eastbound portion from Eisenhower Drive to Avenida Navarro and in the Westbound
portion from Avenida Navarro to Avertida Mendoza, for this special outdoor event;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council on the 7th day of March, 2000, reviewed
and heard public testimony on this request to temporarily close Avenida Montezuma
between Eisenhower Drive and Avenida Navarro for the La Quinta Arts Festival; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the following facts and reasons to
justify approval of said temporary street closure:
1. The temporary street closure will have minor impacts on the surrounding area
because other streets adjoining the site are available to provide access to the
immediate neighbors or businesses surrounding the Frances Hack Park. The
affected property owners will be notified of the upcoming event as required bV
Temporary Use Permit 99-208.
2. The City Council can grant an encroachment permit to allow activities on public
streets for specific periods if legitimate reasons can be 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 event.

La Quinta, California, as follows:

findings and requirements of the City Council in this case.
