A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA THAT THE PROPOSED
RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION OF A ± 535 SQ. FT. PORTION
OF EISENHOWER DRIVE/AVENIDA MONTEZUMA IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
CASE NO. 2008-042: RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 8T" day of November, 2011, consider the request for right-of-way vacation
of a portion of Eisenhower Drive/Avenida Montezuma; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed vacation is exempt under Section 15060 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the vacation of the subject
easement will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in
the environment.
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 right-of-way vacation is consistent with the City's General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, said Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory
Finding confirming that the proposed street vacation is consistent with the City's
General Plan:
1. The proposed right-of-way vacation will have no environmental effects that
adversely impact the human population, either directly or indirectly, because the
street segment is currently unused by the public and inaccessible to vehicles; and
secondly, the act of vacating the right-of-way will have no physical
environmental effect.
2. The right-of-way vacation will not impact public utility agencies, provided
easements are retained for the continued maintenance and operation of existing
public utilities. The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) did request
easement over the entire portion to be vacated for existing domestic water,
sanitary sewer and irrigation laterals to install, construct, enlarge, survey,
-reconstruct, remove and replace, operate, maintain, repair, improve and relocate
underground pipeline(s), which pipeline(s) may be installed at different times, and
over a period of time, and necessary devices and appurtenances thereto in, on
over, under, along and across the entire proposed right-of-way vacation.
3. The portion of Eisenhower Drive/Avenida Montezuma is no longer needed for
public street purposes.
