TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing, find that the area to be vacated is not needed for present or prospective public use; and adopt resolution ordering the vacation of the portion of Via Alcalde Avenue, between Via Plata Street and Carson Street, based on the findings and memorializing the conditions imposed on the right-of-way vacation. (District 8)
DISCUSSION
To allow for the construction and operation of a 525,000-square-foot logistics center on the vacant land parcel west of Interstate 710 (I-710) freeway, between Via Plata Street and Carson Street, and incorporate the portion of vacated Via Alcalde Avenue, Intex Properties South Bay Corporation (Intex) (Applicant), at 4000 Via Oro Avenue, requests the vacation of Via Alcalde Avenue (Attachment A). Consistent with California land reversion practices and Chapter 3, General Vacation Procedure, of the Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law of the California Streets and Highways Code, the vacated portions of the public right-of-way will revert to the adjacent property owner(s). If approved, the vacated property would allow the applicant to incorporate the area into the property development project.
On December 15, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-20-0170, declaring its intention to vacate the identified location, and set January 19, 2020, as the date for the public hearing.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on December 31, 2020 and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo on December 28, 2020.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on January 19, 2021, as the public hearing date was set by the December 15, 2020 City Council action.
FISCAL IMPACT
A final vacation processing fee in the amount of $3,712 has been requested from the Applicant and will be deposited in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
