DISCUSSION
Intex Properties South Bay Corporation (Intex), located at 4000 Via Oro Avenue, owner of the 25-acre vacant land in the West Long Beach Business Park, requests the vacation of Via Alcalde, which is located on the east side of the vacant land they own, west of Interstate 710 (I-710) freeway, between Via Plata Street and Carson Street (Attachment A). Intex has plans to construct and operate a 525,000-square-foot logistics center on the vacant parcels and incorporate the portion of the vacated Via Alcalde Avenue right-of-way into their development.
The adopted I-710 freeway widening plan, known as Alternative 5C, approved by the Los Angeles Metro (Metro) Board, indicates that the additional freeway right-of-way would include some portions of the existing Via Alcalde Street right-of-way, as shown on Attachment B.

Metro has agreed that Via Alcalde does not need to be moved or replaced for the planned freeway expansion to occur. The timing for the freeway expansion is indefinite. According to Metro, the expansion may not occur for another 20-30 years or more, if at all.
