TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Resolution of Intention to vacate Alta Way between Marietta Court and Olive Avenue, as well as a portion of Olive Avenue north of First Street; and, set the date of Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. for the public hearing on this vacation. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
The developer of the property at 101 Alamitos Avenue, Sares Regis Group, requests to vacate Alta Way between Marietta Court and Olive Avenue, as well as a portion of Olive Avenue north of First Street (Exhibit A) for the construction of a 136-unit condominium complex. Consistent with California land reversion practices, the vacated portions of Alta Way and Olive Avenue will revert back to the adjacent property owners.
Proceedings for this vacation are being conducted in accordance with Chapter 3, General Vacation Procedure, of the Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law of the California Streets and Highways Code. Findings must establish that the subject right-ofway is unnecessary for present or prospective public use (Exhibit B). On December 3, 2015, the Planning Commission determined the subject vacation action is consistent with the General Plan (Exhibit C).
The interested City departments, including Traffic Engineering, Fire and Police have reviewed the proposed right-of-way vacation and have no objections to this action. To meet public utility company conditions, an easement has been reserved on Olive Avenue (Exhibit D).
A public hearing on this matter is to be held on May 24, 2016, and will allow all persons interested in, or objecting to, the proposed vacation to appear and be heard. At that time, the City Council will deliberate and take action on the proposed vacation.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on March 25, 2016 and by Budget Officer Victoria Bell on April 15, 2016.
