(District 6)
DISCUSSION
The former owners of the properties at 2400, 2450 and 2490 Long Beach Boulevard, Richard Earl Todd and Claudia Todd, husband and wife, as joint tenants, as to Parcel A; R & P Todd Family Partnership, LTD., a California limited partnership, formerly known as Todd Family Partnership, LTD., a California limited partnership, as to Parcel B; and R & P Todd Family Partnership LTD., a California limited partnership, as to Parcel C (collectively referred to as “former owners”) requested the vacation of 122 feet of the east-west alley located east of Long Beach Boulevard and west of an unnamed north-south alley, between the properties located at 2400 and 2450 Long Beach Boulevard (Attachment A).
2400 LONG BEACH LP, a California limited partnership, as the current owner of the properties at 2400, 2450 and 2490 Long Beach Boulevard, requests to continue the vacation herein. Vacating this portion of public right-of-way (ROW) would allow the property owners to improve the alley as part of their proposed residential development project adjacent to the alley.
On July 12, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. Res-22-0113, declaring its intention to vacate the identified location, and set August 16, 2022, as the date for the public hearing. While the requested vacation was initiated by the former owners of the properties, 2400 LONG BEACH LP, as current owner of the properties, requests to continue the vacation herein.
Proceedings for this vacation are being conducted in accordance with Chapter 3, General Vacation Procedures, of the Public Streets and Highways, and Service Easement Vacation Law of the California Streets and Highways Code. The necessary City of Long Beach (City) departments have reviewed the proposed ROW vacation and have not objections to this action.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Vanessa S. Ibarra on July 21, 2022 and by Budget Management Officer Nader Kaamoush on July 26, 2022.
