BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa

WHEREAS, this Council heretofore adopted on December 20,
1976, a Resolution No. 76-149, wherein it declared its intention
to vacate pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Part 3 of Division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code of the

in blocks 6 and 7 of the "Dawson and Cummings Addition To The
Town of Santa Ana" between Lowe Street (Van Ness Avenue) and
Ross Street and a portion of the East half of Lowe Street (Van
Ness Avenue) between First and Third Streets, said portions of
said streets and alleys being specifically 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 17th day
of January, 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 object-
ing to said proposed vacation of the said portions of Second
Street and the alleys in blocks 6 and 7 of the "Dawson and
Cummings Addition To The Town of Santa Ana" and said portion
of the East half of Lowe Street; 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 purpose 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 portions of said streets and alleys,
and has received and considered all evidence submitted; and
WHEREAS, this Council finds from all the evidence submitted
that the said portions of the said streets and alleys described
in the above mentioned Resolution, and described more fully in
"Exhibit A" attached hereto, are unnecessary for present or pros-
pective street purposes based upon the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed vacation would eliminate traffic hazards
by eliminating three internal intersections as well as eliminating
access from driveways and parking areas onto the heavily traveled
First and Third Streets.
RESOLUTION NO. 77-12
PAGE TWO
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 for growth, development and
efficient land utilization thereon.
4. The vacation as proposed would eliminate current blight
in the form of excessive rights-of-way resulting in frequent
traffic intersections and would decrease the number of small
inefficient blocks.
WHEI{EAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2381 of
Chapter 8 of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code of
the State of California, this Council does hereby find and
determine that none of said streets and alleys, nor parts thereof,
are useful as bicycle paths or routes; and
NOW, THEREFORE, this Council does hereby order that the
portion of Second Street and the alleys in block 6 and 7 in
the "Dawson and Cummings Addition To The Town of Santa Ana",
between Lowe Street (Van Ness Avenue) and Ross Street, and that
portion of the East half of Lowe Street (Van Ness Avenue) be-
tween First Street and Third Street in the City of Santa Ana,
County of Orange, State of California, more fully described in
"Exhibit A" attached hereto and made a part hereof by this refer-
ence, be and are hereby vacated.
