COACHELLA VALLEY SOAP BOX DERBY
WHEREAS, the Don Berry Memorial Greater Coachella Valley Soap Box Derby
has applied for City Council approval to close Avenida Bermudas between Calle Arroba
and Calle Nogales, and the side streets to the west that connect to Avenida Navarro,
for their special outdoor event to be held April 16, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on the 5th day of April, 2005, reviewed and heard
public testimony on this request to temporarily close Avenida Bermudas between Calle
Arroba and Calle Nogales and those interconnecting streets to the west between the
hours of 5:00 A.M. and 7:00 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 !?esc!::t;c to designate
"temporary 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 Temporary Use Permit 2005-529.
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.

threaten the public health and safety needs of the community at the various
events because specific conditions will be imposed and shall be met.
