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 north-south alley, west of Long Beach Boulevard, between East Wardlow Road and 35th Street, and a portion of sidewalk right-of-way along Locust Avenue. (District 7)
DISCUSSION
To eliminate the public alley separating the Laserfiche development parcels at 3435-3459 Long Beach Boulevard, the property owner(s) requested the vacation of the north-south alley, west of Long Beach Boulevard, between East Wardlow Road and 35th Street. In addition, to provide for building setback needs, portions of the adjacent sidewalk along Locust Avenue is also requested to be vacated (Exhibit B to the Resolution). Consistent with California land reversion practices and Chapter 3, General Vacation Procedures, of the Public Streets and Highways Code, the vacated portions of the public rights-of-way will revert to the adjacent property owner(s).
On July 16, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No.19-0105, declaring its intention to vacate the subject location, and set August 13, 2019, as the date for the public hearing.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy R. Webber on July 22, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on July 30, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The date of this public hearing was set by the July 16, 2019 City Council action.
FISCAL IMPACT
A final vacation processing fee of $5,376 was paid and 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.
