A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA VACATING A PORTION OF THE WEST
HALF OF LOWE STREET (VAN NESS AVENUE) BETWEEN
FIRST AND THIRD STREETS IN THE CITY OF SANTA
ANA, CALIFORNIA
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Santa Ama:
WHEREAS, this Council heretofore adopted on May 16,
1977, a Resolution No. 77-56, wherein it declared its intention
to vacate pursuant to and in acccordance with the provisions of
Part 3 of Division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code of the
State of California, a portion of the west half of Lowe Street
(Van Ness Avenue) between First and Third Streets in the City of
Santa Ana, California, said portion of said street being specifi-
cally described in said Resolution and reference being made in
said Resolution to a certain map on file in the office of the
Clerk of the Council for full particulars as to such proposed
vacation; and
WHEREAS, said Resolution gave notice that on the 6th
day of June, 1977, at 7:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the
matter can be heard, in the Council Chambers of the City of Santa
Ana, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, this Council
would hear any and all persons interested in or objecting to said
proposed vacation of the said portion of the west half of Lowe
Street (Van Ness Avenue); and
WHEREAS, this Council finds that said Resolution has
been published in the manner prescribed by law for the publishing
of ordinances of the City; and
WHEREAS, this Council further finds that notices of
said proposed street vacations, stating the purposes of said
Resolution and time and place set for hearing, were posted as
directed by the Council and required by law; and
WHEREAS, this Council at the time and place set for
hearing has heard any and all persons interested in or objecting
to said proposed vacation of said portion of said street and has
received and considered all evidence submitted; and
WHEREAS, this Council finds from all the evidence
submitted that the said portion of the said street described in
the abovementioned Resolution, and described more fully in "Exhi-
bit A" attached hereto, is unnecessary for present or prospec-
tive street purposes based upon the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed vacation would eliminate traffic
hazards by eliminating two internal intersections as well as
eliminating access from driveways and parking areas onto the
heavily traveled First and Third Streets.
2. The elimination of the rights of way to be vacated
will focus traffic flow onto the major arterial streets which
will facilitate smoother traffic circulation through this area.
3. The proposed vacation will allow consolidation of
the adjacent land area into larger blocks which will tend to
result in an increased potential growth, development and effi-
cient land utilization thereon.
RESOLUTION NO. 77-62

4. The vacation as proposed would eliminate current
blight in the form of excessive rights of way resulting in fre-
quent traffic intersections and would decrease the number of
small inefficient blocks.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Division 3,
Chapter 8, Section 2381 of the Streets and Highways Code of the
State of California, this Council does hereby find and determine
that none of said street, nor parts thereof, are useful as bicy-
cle paths or routes.
NOW, THEREFORE, this Council does hereby order that the
portion of the west half of Lowe Street (Van Ness Avenue) between
First Street and Third Street in the City of Santa Aha, County of
Orange, State of California, more fully described in "Exhibit A"
attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference, be and
is hereby vacated.
The Clerk of the Council is hereby directed to cause a
certified copy hereof, attested by her under seal, to be recorded
forthwith in the office of the Records of the County of Orange.
