on any street, and California Vehicle Code Section 21101(e)authorizes the closure of streets for
parades and local special events. The purpose of this Resolution and the below findings is
memorialize the opinion of the City that closure of the streets is necessary for the safety and
protection of persons who are to use those portions of the street during the event; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, the following circumstances exist:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo
Grande finds, determines, resolves, and recommends:
1. Recitals. All recitals above are true and correct and hereby incorporated by reference.
2. CEQA. The authorization of the Holiday Parade and Jingle Dash and closure of City streets is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 4
exemption, which applies to minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water,
and/or vegetation where the project does not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees
except for forestry and agricultural purposes. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15304(e).) The class 4
exemption applies to this project because it involves a minor temporary use of land having
negligible or no permanent effects on the environment. Specifically, the project involves an eight
hour parade and closure of certain streets involving negligible to no permanent effects on the
environment.
3. Findings.The City Councils makes, after due study and deliberation,the following Temporary
Use Permit findings:
a. The operation of the requested use at the location proposed and within the time period
RESOLUTION NO. 5397
PAGE 2
specified will not jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public
health, safety or general welfare. The streets will be closed to ensure easy pedestrian
access on the streets and reroute traffic to avoid hazards from vehicles at the parade.
The parade is limited.to the hours of 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm such that the parade activities
will not be.disruptive to residential uses. Public Works staff will provide clean-up of all
materials associated with the parade at the conclusion of the event.
b. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the temporary use
without material detriment to the use and enjoyment of other properties located
adjacent to and in the vicinity of the site. The streets are sufficiently large for the parade
event, and the event has operated without material detriment to the use and enjoyment
of other properties since 2003. The event is held on Sunday to prevent the parade from
interfering with ordinary business of other properties in the City. 48 hours prior to the
event, adjacent business owners will also be notified about the event.
c. The proposed site is adequately served by streets or highways having sufficient width
and improvements to accommodate the kind and quantity of traffic that the temporary
use will or could reasonably be expected to generate. "No Parking" restrictions will be
implemented, and various streets will be closed to facilitate the operation of the parade.
With the road closures, detour routes, and staged event areas, the streets will be
sufficient to allow the temporary use. Such road closures and parking restrictions have
historically allowed for sufficient space to accommodate the parade traffic.
d. Adequate temporary parking to accommodate vehicular traffic to be generated by the
use will be available either on-site or at alternate locations acceptable to the City
Council. Existing parking lots north of the Village off Le Point Street as well as on-street
parking throughout the surrounding Village area will provide adequate temporary
parking during the event.
4. Approval. The City Council hereby approves Temporary Use Permit 24-008, authorizing the
use of City property as presented to the City Council on November 12, 2024, with the above
findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.
