CC Resolution 2002-048 RESOLUTION NO. 2002-48
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA,
CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ALLOW A TEMPORARY
CLOSURE OF AVENIDA BERMUDAS BETWEEN CALLE BARCELONA AND
EISENHOWER DRIVE AND THE CONNECTING SIDE STREETS, ON APRIL
27, 2002, FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 3:00 P.M. FOR THE CITY'S 20th
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION PARADE
WHEREAS, the City of La Quinta has applied for City Council approval to close
Avenida Bermudas between Calle Barcelona and Eisenhower Drive, and all connecting
side streets within the closure area for the special outdoor event to be held April 27,
2002; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on the 2nd day of April, 2002, reviewed and heard
public testimony on this request to temporarily close Avenida Bermudas between Calle
Barcelona and Eisenhower Drive and all connecting side streets within the closure area
between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 3:00 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
"temporar. y 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 02-339.
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
..... threaten the public health and safety needs of the community at the various
events because specific conditions will be imposed and shall be met.
