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 east-west alley north of Anaheim Street and west of Elm Avenue.  (District 1)
 
DISCUSSION
A 6,700 square-foot commercial development is being built at 325 E. Anaheim Street. The adjacent 1 O-foot wide east-west alley has not been used by the public for over five years.  It functions as a driveway for the homeowners at 1331 Elm Avenue and 1330 Alamo Court.  Rather than widen this alley as a part of the development plan, staff recommends that the alley be vacated. The proposed vacation action is shown on Exhibit A.
 
On September 12, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-06-01 02, declaring its intention to vacate the subject right-of-way, and set October 10, 2006, as the date for the public hearing. A copy of the City Council letter from the meeting of September 12, 2006, is attached as Exhibit B. The proposed resolution was prepared by Deputy City Attorney Lisa Peskay Malmsten on August 14, 2006.
 
FISCAL IMPACT
A vacation processing fee of $1,000 was deposited to the General Fund (GP) in the Department of Public Works (PW).
