SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CLOSURE OF AIN STREET
FOR DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET EVENT
Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachments)
Statement of Issue: The California Department of Transportation requires an approved
Council resolution to close the first block of Main Street for events.
Funding Source: Not applicable.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Adopt Resolution No. 2007- 28 , A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach Authorizing the Closing of Main Street to Vehicular Traffic for the Downtown Main
Street Event.
Alternative Action: Do not adopt a resolution to close Main Street for a special event on
June 16-17, 2007.
Analysis: Certain special events require the closure of portions of Main Street in the
downtown area in the interest of public safety, crowd access, and event operation. The
California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) requires a City Council resolution
(Attachment 1) declaring the city's intention to close the first block of Main Street in order to
issue a permit for the closure. A CalTrans permit is needed at this location because Pacific
Coast Highway is a state highway with turn pockets onto Main Street.
At its February 5, 2007 meeting, Council adopted resolutions for street closures for events for
2007, including those for Main Street. The attached request for closure was not included on
this earlier closure resolution. The proposed event is organized by the Downtown Business

Association in cooperation with the Economic Development Department. The times of the
day listed in the resolution, 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, do not reflect the actual times of the
closure but rather a time frame that will enable the city to fulfill the CalTrans requirement for
closure while allowing for flexibility for the event.
Strategic Plan Goal: Approving the closure of Main Street for the Downtown Main Street
Event will meet Strategic Plan Goal Land Use and Economic Development L-4 — Create an
environment that promotes tourism to increase revenues to support community services and
transform the city's economy into a destination economy. Closure of Main Street for the
Downtown Main Street Event allows safer access by local residents and tourists to Main
Street businesses, restaurants, and other establishments.
Environmental Status: Not applicable.
