GRANVIA VALMONTE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, after considering testimony received at the Public
Hearing, adopt a resolution vacating a portion of the right-of-way dedicated for the public
street named Granvia Valmonte in Section 10,Township 4 South, Range 4 East; File R-02-
047.
SUMMARY:
The Streets & Highways Code of the State of California requires that the City hold a Public
Hearing to discuss and review proposed right-of-way vacations. After consideration of
testimony received at the Public Hearing, the City Council can consider denial or approval
of the requested right-of-way vacation.
BACKGROUND:
This is a City-initiated right-of-way vacation, related to the Indian Canyon Drive Two-Way
Modification Project,City Project 00-35, as well as the development of the"PepperTree Inn"
(formerly Lambs Garden building). City Project 00-35 is nearly complete, and has converted
Granvia Valmonte to a narrower, two-way street with new diagonal parking adjacent to the
Palm Canyon Theater complex,similar to the street-scape constructed along Arenas Road
between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilia. All of these improvements were related to
the conversion of Indian Canyon Drive and Palm Canyon Drive from one-way to two-way
traffic circulation from Granvia Valmonte to Alejo Road.
The reduced street cross-section of Granvia Valmonte allows for the proposed vacation of
excess right-of-way adjacent to the property being developed as the "Pepper Tree Inn".
Granvia Valmonte is considered a local street, and is not designated on the General Plan.
The proposed right-of-way vacation was determined to be consistent with the General Plan
and was approved by the Planning Commission as part of Architectural Approval of the
Pepper Tree Inn, Case No. 3.1018, at its September 11, 2002, meeting.
Staff forwarded the requested right-of-way vacation information to the City Clerk, and
pursuant to Section 8320 of the Streets & Highways Code, the City Clerk administratively
scheduled a public hearing for November 20, 2002, to hear all persons interested in or
objecting to the right-of-way vacation.

Notices of the proposed right-of-way vacation have been posted within the vacation area,
published in the local newspaper, mailed to all public utility companies, and sent to all City
departments managing City facilities within public streets. Requests by various utility
companies have been received for reservation of a public utility or access easement within
the vacation area. If the City Council desires to approve the proposed right-of-way vacation,
adoption of the attached Resolution will vacate and close to public use the subject portion
of Granvia Valmonte.
