The elimination of right of way to be vacated will reduce the number of local traffic intersections and focus traffic flow onto major arterial streets which will facilitate smoother traffic circulation. w The vacation as proposed would eliminate current blight in the form of excessive right of way resulting frequent traffic intersections and would decrease the number of small inefficient blocks. RESOLUTION NO. 81-10 PAGE TWO WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of § 2381 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, the City Council does hereby find and determine that neither said street, nor parts thereof, is useful as a nonmotorized transportation facility, as defined in § 156 of said code; and WHEREAS, based upon the findings contained in Initial Study No. 80-220, on file in the office of the Planning Director of the City of Santa Ana, the City Council hereby approves the finding of the Negative Declaration issued thereon that the said proposed vacation will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA: That this Council does hereby order that the portion of Garnsey Street north of Civic Center Drive, in the City of Santa Ana, more fully described in "Exhibit A" attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference, be, and the same is, hereby vacated.
