Resolution 9*-95
1. The proposed street vacation will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of the community, either directly or indirectly, because it will
not impact an improved roadway or other infrastructure.
2. The street vacation will not have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife population to
drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range of rare or endangered plants
or animals or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory, with the implementation of mitigation measures.
3. The proposed street vacation does not have the potential to achieve short-term
environmental goals, to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals, as
the vacation will permit the construction of a needed domestic water well that
will service the area for many years.
4. The proposed street vacation will not result in impacts which are individually
limited or cumulatively considerable that cannot be mitigated to a level of
insignificance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the finds of the
