The City operates 33 Special Revenue Funds, 4 Internal Service Funds, 2 Enterprise Funds and 3 Trust Funds.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
SilverRock Golf Resort operates under two funds, an operating fund and a capital replacement reserve fund. The SilverRock Golf Resort Fund annual management plan is being presented to City Council on the same night as this report. Readers are encouraged to read the full annual plan for details on revenues and expenditures. Highlights include impacts from ongoing construction and clubhouse closure and a golf course management fee increase of five percent (5%). It is anticipated that SilverRock operations and the budget will require continuous monitoring and adjustments during the 2023/24 fiscal year as ongoing hotel/commercial construction will affect operations. 2023/24 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT CALCULATION
Annually, the City is required to prepare an Appropriations Limit Calculation (Gann Limit) in accordance with Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. The Gann initiative limits the growth in governments spending to changes in population and inflation. The Gann Limit for 2023/24 is $170,450,479. This means that the City must not spend revenues in excess of this limitation. City revenues subject to the Gann Limit are $75,918,000; therefore, the City is significantly below the limit by a margin of $94,532,479 (Exhibit E). 2023/24 PERSONNEL SCHEDULE
Exhibit F summarizes the citywide personnel schedule for 2023/24 and includes 100 fulltime and 7.76 part-time positions. 2023/24 BUDGET RESOLUTION
The list of estimated continuing appropriations/carryovers (Exhibit A to the Budget Resolution) reflects City commitments to projects, services or purchases that were made in 2022/23 but will not be completed, fulfilled, or paid for by the end of the fiscal year. The continuing appropriations total is $5,724,192; of this amount $950,000 are General Fund carryovers, and $4,774,192 are Special Funds. These unexpended funds remain available, but Council approval is needed to re-appropriate them for use in 2023/24 (since all appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year). Capital project and grant carryovers are not included as they are part of the year-end auditing process and will be included in the 2022/23 year-end budget report.
Exhibit B to the Budget Resolution depicts total General Fund reserves currently estimated to end 2022/23 at $59,500,000 with a projected increase of $4,399,011 to $63,899,011 during fiscal year 2023/24. Project fund balances for Measure G sales tax, public safety fund, fire services trust fund, carryovers/capital projects, pension and other employee benefit trusts are also provided.
The City’s ability to pivot during challenging times, the dedication of our City staff, Executive team, and leadership of the City Council will help us fund vital services for our community. The City is committed to adopting a structurally balanced budget, any changes based on discussions during this meeting will be incorporated in the final adopted budget.

(2) The previous population is furnished by the Department of Finance.
The Shaded boxes indicate the calculation factor that was used to calculate that year's Gann Limit.
The Gann Limit is adjusted annually by multiplying the "Prior Year Gann Limit" (column 1) by the "% Change in Population" (column 4) and then by the greater of the "% Change in New Local Non-residential Construction or % Change in California Per Capita Income" (column 6 or 7). This Gann adjustment figure is then added to the prior year's limit amount to obtain the current year Gann limit amount in column 8. The U.S. CPI factor (column 5) was used in place of the non-residential construction (column 6) amount and the lower of the two factors, the U.S. CPI or Per Capita Income, for the calculation prior 'to FY 1990-91. The City has elected in column (2) and (3) to use the City population method versus the change in County population.

In 1979, Proposition 4, the "Gann" initiative, was passed. The Proposition created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution placing limits on the amount of revenue which can be spent by all entities of Government.
The Gann limit is adjusted annually by the following two factors:
Annual population change and the greater of the change in:
1) State Per Capita Income, or
2) The Local Assessment roll for local non-residential construction.
When a City reaches this limit, excess tax revenue must be returned to the State or Citizens through a process of refunds, rebates, or other means that may be defined at that time. The Gann limit for the City of La Quinta has increased steadily since 1984 and still provides the City with a comfortable operating margin. The revenue collection and spending limit for City of La Quinta FY 2023/24 is $170.5 million. "Proceeds of taxes" are projected to be $75.9 million in FY 2023/24 allowing the City a margin of $94.5 million.
On the graph on the following page, the highest bars represent the spending limit and the lower bars represent the appropriation of taxes for the last fifteen years.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: June 20, 2023
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO CONFIRM THE ASSESSMENT AND DISTRICT DIAGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/24 LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 89-1
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution confirming the Assessment and District Diagram for the Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 89-1 for fiscal year 2023/24, pursuant to the Engineer’s report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Annually, Council must take certain actions pertaining to Citywide Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 89-1 (District) to allow the City to levy annual assessments.
These assessments fund 38% of the citywide landscape, lighting, median, and parkway maintenance costs. Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 assessment rate will remain at $35.60 per dwelling/parcel also identified as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU).
This has been the rate since 1997.
Adopting this resolution is necessary for the Riverside County Assessor to place the assessment on the tax roll for FY 2023/24.
FISCAL IMPACT
FY 2023/24 estimated cost for retention basin and right-of-way maintenance (landscaping and lighting maintenance for medians and parkways) is $2,617,176.
The assessment charge will generate an estimated $989,016. The City will also receive $150,000 from County Service Area 152, levied by Riverside County, to fund retention basin maintenance. The combined income is projected to be $1,139,016; this leaves a shortfall of $1,478,160 to be funded by the General Fund.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1989, the Council formed a District to fund costs associated with the maintenance, construction and servicing of landscape areas, streetlights and traffic signals. The District was modified in 1997 to conform to Proposition 218, which required the removal of PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1
699 Click Here to Return to Agenda
maintenance costs for facilities that provide general benefit to the public such as parks, fire stations, and public buildings. Since 1997, the City’s District has only included maintenance costs for streets, streetlights, traffic signals, landscape medians, parkways and retention basins since these costs are considered “exempt” under Proposition 218.
Beginning in 1997, maintenance of “non-exempt” items (i.e., facilities providing general benefit) were shown separately but still shown as part of the overall landscape maintenance budget.
Proposition 218 requires that any assessment rate increase be supported by a benefits analysis and Citywide vote in favor of the increase. These requirements locked the assessment rate at $35.60 since 1997, while maintenance costs have nearly tripled.
On June 6, 2023, the Council adopted the following resolutions:
Resolution No. 2023-12 approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for FY 2023/24 in connection with the District.
Resolution No. 2023-13 declaring intention to levy annual assessment for construction, maintenance, and servicing landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the territory included in the Citywide District and giving notice thereof.
The engineer’s report must contain the following information:
1. A description of the services to be provided throughout the District;
2. Total costs necessary to provide all services described in the engineer’s report;
3. A diagram showing the boundaries of the District, including special benefit zones; and
4. An assessment schedule.
The final engineer’s report (Attachment 1) has been completed and establishes the maintenance budget and number of benefitting parcels. The chart below compares the projected FY 2023/24 data with FY 2022/23 data:
2023/24 2022/23
City wide Benefit Zone Yes Yes
Number of Local Benefit Units 6 6
Number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) 27,782 27,782 EBU Rate $35.60/EBU $35.60/EBU
District Revenue $989,016 $989,016
The City’s consultant, Willdan Financial Services, does not project an increase in EBU’s from 2022/23 to 2023/24; actuals will be based on the final FY 2023/24 County Secured Tax Roll.
700 Click Here to Return to Agenda
This public hearing affords an opportunity for impacted property owners to ask questions regarding the District and to provide public testimony regarding any proposed changes. No changes are proposed at this time. The City Council may adopt FY 2023/24 assessment fees only after the public hearing has been conducted.
Should the Council receive testimony through the public meeting/hearing that warrants a change to the assessment level, the Council can lower the assessment by a majority vote.
If lowered, the reduction in assessment level would impact the revenues necessary to fund the District’s 2023/24 operational budget. Council may also increase the assessment level but only by a special-benefit analysis and vote through a property-owner ballot.
If service levels are not adjusted accordingly, the General Fund would be required to make up the difference.
ALTERNATIVES

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of La Quinta (the “City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide and maintain the facilities, improvements and services within Street Lighting and Landscape District No. 89-1 (the “District”). The District was formed in 1989 pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “1972 Act”), Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code and authorizes the Agency to annually levy and collect assessments to maintain the services and improvements related thereto.
This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (the “Report”) describes the District, any changes to the District, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
The proposed assessments are based on the estimated cost to maintain improvements that provide special benefit to properties assessed within the District. The various improvements within the District and the costs of those improvements are identified and budgeted separately, including expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Riverside County Assessor’s Office. The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor Parcel Numbers and specific fund numbers on the tax roll to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.
Each parcel within the District is assessed proportionately for those improvements provided by the District and from which the parcel receives special benefit.
Following consideration of public comments, written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report, and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the Riverside County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION
The District was formed in 1989 pursuant to the 1972 Act. As such, the City has determined that pursuant to California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5 Subsection A the existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218. Any new or increased assessments above the maximum assessment rates previously approved and levied by the City Council would be subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of the Proposition.

C. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATION
The assessments for the District provide a special benefit to the parcels assessed, and the City utilizes General Fund Revenues to fund improvements and services that are considered general benefit.
This District was formed pursuant to the 1972 Act, which permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing for the maintenance of certain public improvements, which include the facilities existing within the District, as those improvements provide a special benefit to parcels.
The City Council reviews the current and projected years’ costs for the construction, operation, maintenance, and servicing of the District facilities and sets the assessment for the ensuing fiscal year, which runs between July 1 and June 30.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities.
The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an
assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in this District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.
B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Properties within the District boundary are found to derive a special benefit from the improvements provided by the District. These properties include single family residential, non-residential, vacant residential and non-residential, golf courses, agricultural and hillside conservation properties, vacant and remote non-residential and rural and estate residential properties.
Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each assessed parcel receives special benefit from the improvements maintained and funded by the assessments, specifically, landscaping and lighting improvements installed in connection with the development of these parcels. The desirability of properties within the District is enhanced by the presence of wellmaintained landscaping and lighting improvements in close proximity to those properties.
The annual assessments outlined in this Report are based on the estimated costs to provide necessary services, operation, administration, and maintenance required to ensure the satisfactory condition and quality of each improvement.
The special benefits associated with the landscaping improvements are specifically:
Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the 713 Click Here to Return to Agenda
2023/2024 City Of La Quinta L&L 89-1 Page 6 of 15
improvements.
Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the District providing a positive representation of the area.
Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, and dust and debris control.
Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.
Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities.
Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.
The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods, specifically:
Enhanced deterrence of crime – an aid to police protection. Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways.
Improved visibility of pedestrians and motorists.
Improved ingress and egress to and from property.
Reduced vandalism, damage to improvements or property, and other criminal acts.
Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
Increased promotion of business during nighttime hours in the case of commercial properties.
The preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.
C. METHODOLOGY
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that distributes the net amount to be assessed among the assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received by each such parcel from the improvements. The special benefit formula used within the District should reflect the composition of the parcels - and the 714 Click Here to Return to Agenda
2023/2024 City Of La Quinta L&L 89-1 Page 7 of 15
improvements and services provided therein - to apportion the costs based on estimated special benefit to each parcel.
The cost to provide maintenance and service of the improvements within the District shall be equitably distributed among each assessable parcel based on the estimated special benefit received by each parcel.
Equivalent Benefit Units
To equitably spread special benefit to each parcel, it is necessary to establish a relationship between the various types of properties within the District and the improvements that benefit those properties. Each parcel within the District is assigned an Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”) factor that reflects its land use, size and development, or development potential. Parcels that receive special benefit from the various District improvements are proportionately assessed for the cost of those improvements based on their calculated EBU. The EBU method assessment for this District uses the Single-Family Residential parcel as the basic unit of assessment. A Single Family Residential (“SFR”) parcel equals one EBU.
Every other land-use is assigned an EBU factor based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific land-use and relative special benefits compared to the Single-Family Residential parcel.
The EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefits to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size, and development. The following table provides a listing of land use types, the EBU factors applied to that land use and the multiplying factor used to calculate each parcel’s individual EBU for each improvement provided in the District.
During the formation of the District, a methodology was developed to calculate the EBUs for other residential and non-residential land use parcels, which are outlined below for reference. Every land use is assigned EBUs based on the assessment formula approved for the District. Parcels which have been determined to receive greater benefit than the SFR parcel are assigned more than 1 EBU and parcels that are determined to receive lesser benefit than SFR parcels are assigned less than 1 EBU as reflected in the Assessment Methodology.

2023/2024 City Of La Quinta L&L 89-1 Page 8 of 15
Single-Family Residential
The City’s General Plan allows up to one acre of area for subdivided residential lots. The subdivided single-family lot equal to or less than one acre in size is the basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. Parcels less than one acre in size zoned for single-family residential use are assessed one (1) EBU.
Multi-Family Residential
Multi-Family Residential parcels are assessed one-half (0.5) EBU per unit.
Non-Residential
The factor used for converting nonresidential is based on the average number of typical single-family residential lots of five per acre. Therefore, non-residential parcels will be assessed five (5) EBUs per acre with a minimum number per parcel of one (1) EBU.
Vacant Residential
Parcels defined as single family residential parcels less than one acre and having no structure will be assessed 33 percent (33%) of a single-family dwelling, or 0.33 EBU per parcel.
Vacant Non-Residential
Parcels not considered single family residential parcels less than one acre and having no structure will be assessed based on acreage. The typical development in La Quinta occurs in increments of twenty (20) acres or less. The first twenty (20) acres of a Vacant Non-Residential parcel will be assessed at a rate of 33 percent (33%) of developed nonresidential properties, or 1.65 EBU per acre or any portion of an acre. The minimum number of EBUs per parcel is one (1) EBU. Any parcel of land greater than twenty (20) acres is considered open space and exempt from assessment until such time as parcel subdivision or development occurs.
Land Use EBU Factor
Exempt Parcels 0.0
Single Family Residential Parcels 1.0 per unit
Multi-Family Residential Parcels 0.5 per unit
Non-Residential Parcels 5.0 per acre; 1.0 minimum
Vacant Residential Parcels 0.33 per unit
Vacant Non-Residential Parcels 1.65 per acre for first 20 acres only Golf Course Parcels 0.50 per acre; 1.0 minimum
Agricultural Parcels 0.25 per acre; 1.0 minimum
Hillside Conservative Zone Parcels 0.10 per acre
Vacant & Remote Parcels 0.825 per acre for first 20 acres only Rural/Estate Residential 1.0 + 0.33 per acre in excess 1 acre 716 Click Here to Return to Agenda
2023/2024 City Of La Quinta L&L 89-1 Page 9 of 15
Golf Courses
Properties identified as golf courses will be assessed a rate of 10 percent (10%) of the developed nonresidential properties, or 0.50 EBU per acre or any portion of an acre. The minimum number per parcel is one (1) EBU.
Agricultural
Properties identified as agricultural will be assessed a rate of 5 percent (5%) of developed nonresidential properties, or 0.25 EBU per acre or any portion of an acre. The minimum number per parcel is one (1) EBU.
Hillside Conservation
Parcels located in areas zoned Hillside Conservation per the City’s Official Zoning Map will be assessed on the basis of allowable development within the Hillside Conservation Zone. The parcel will be assessed as one dwelling unit per ten (10) acres or 0.10 EBU per acre or any portion of an acre.
Vacant and Remote Non-Residential Parcels (LAFCO Annexation No. 9) Parcels not considered single family residential parcels less than one (1) acre and do not contain structures, will be assessed based on acreage. The City defines Vacant and Remote Non-Residential as parcels physically separated from City services and not readily able to develop due to difficult access and utility limitations. The land values are typically one half the value of other Vacant NonResidential parcels because of the high cost of constructing appropriate access and utility infrastructures necessary. The Vacant and Remote Non-Residential parcels are assessed a rate of 0.825 EBUs per acre or portion thereof, for the first twenty (20) acres, with a minimum of one (1) EBU per parcel.
Rural/Estate Residential
Parcels of one acre or more in size, but having only one residential unit are identified as Rural/Estate Residential. These parcels will be assessed a rate of one (1) EBU for the first acre and 0.33 EBUs for each additional acre or portion of an acre.
Exempt Property
Publicly owned property and utility rights-of-way are exempt from assessment, as well as parcels of land shown on the County Assessor's records as Vacant Desert Land, Vacant Mountain Land, Agricultural Preserve and Public Utility owned land.
This Report does not propose an increase in the District’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 over or above the maximum rate established. The proposed rate per EBU for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 is the same rate assessed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. The base assessment rate to be approved for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 is $35.60.
The maximum assessment rate per EBU may not increase without a vote of the property owners in the District. Therefore, the assessment is proposed to remain at the maximum amount of $35.60 per EBU. This equates to total projected assessment revenue of $989,016. 717 Click Here to Return to Agenda
2023/2024 City Of La Quinta L&L 89-1 Page 10 of 15
The City proposes the remaining $5,684,671 be funded through a General Fund contribution of $5,534,671 and $150,000 of revenue from CSA 152.

The following information was obtained from the Riverside County Assessor's Secured Roll, Assessor's Parcel Maps, and the City’s Planning Department. The land use categories were developed to classify the different land use types in the City.
Table 2
(1) The difference in the “Balance to Levy” amount in Table 1 and the total FY 2023/2024 Levy amount in Table 2 is a rounding difference due to the County even penny requirement for each charged parcel.
Actuals will be based on the final County Secured Roll for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
Differences are generally due to changes in County Land Use Classifications or Assessor’s Parcel Number changes.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: June 20, 2023
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO VACATE A PORTION OF THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF AVENIDA MONTEZUMA AND AVENIDA CARRANZA
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE SANTA CARMELITA AT VALE LA QUINTA SUBDIVISION, UNIT NO. 6
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to vacate a portion of the southwest corner of Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Carranza public right-of-way in the Santa Carmelita at Vale La Quinta Subdivision, Unit No. 6.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Maria Delgadillo on behalf of Linda Simon (Owner) has filed a street vacation application to vacate a 1,823-square-foot portion of the southwest corner of Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Carranza currently adjacent to a vacant lot. The Owner intends to expand their existing house on Lot 2 into the vacant lot, Lot 1. • The right-of-way proposed to be vacated is not needed for street purposes. No utility agency has requested easements over the proposed street vacation area and no utility agency has objected to the street vacation proposal. • On June 13, 2023, the Planning Commission made a finding that this proposed street vacation is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The proposed street vacation area (Attachment 1) at the southwest corner of Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Carranza was dedicated for public use on the subdivision map for Santa Carmelita at Vale La Quinta, Unit No. 6 in 1934. The area is currently vacant. The street configuration was changed when the City constructed Avenida Carranza under Assessment District 92-01, creating an area that is not needed for street purposes and can be conveyed to the underlying property owner without compromising the operational capacity of the roadway as it has been operating without problems.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 3
737 Click Here to Return to Agenda
No utility agency has requested easements over the proposed street vacation area and no utility agency has objected to the street vacation proposal.
Publishing and posting requirements for this public hearing were given in the time and manner pursuant to Sections 8322 and 8323 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Notice
This vacation proceeding is conducted under Chapter 3, Part 3, Division 9 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Three notices regarding the proposed public hearing for the street vacation were posted conspicuously along the line of the street proposed to be vacated on June 5, 2023 (Attachment 2). On June 2, 2023, the public hearing notice was mailed to the ten property owners in La Quinta who petitioned for this street vacation (Attachment 3). The public hearing notice was also advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper for two successive weeks on June 4 and 11, 2023 (Attachment 4). To date, no comments have been received from the public.
Environmental Review
The Design and Development Department has determined the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301(c) – Class 1, pertaining to existing highways and streets, in that the vacation of the subject right-of-way will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. No further environment review is required under CEQA.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose to not approve the street vacation, or incorporate any adjustments deemed appropriate in order to approve the street vacation.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby orders the vacation of the 1,823-square-foot portion of the southwest corner of Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Carranza as shown in the attached Exhibits A and B.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby determines that adoption of the vacation will cause no significant negative environmental impact. In addition to the Recitals, which the City Council adopts as part of its findings and expressly incorporates into the approval of this Resolution, the street vacation is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1 exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15301(c).) Class 1 consists of, among other items, minor alterations of existing public or private facilities or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The types of “existing facilities” itemized in Section 15301 are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1, but Subdivision (c) expressly includes existing highways, streets, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities. The street vacation here is small in the amount of square footage, and that square footage is situated in a manner unnecessary for circulation of traffic or for any other present or prospective public use or purposes. The street vacation does not authorize any other use. Therefore, the street vacation involves no or negligible expansion of use and is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c).
