Home My WebLink About4/24/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (13) DATE: April 24, 2002 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer ORANGE AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution of intention to vacate a portion of the right-of-way dedicated for the public street named Orange Avenue in Section 19, Township 4 South, Range 5 East; File R-01-011. SUMMARY: The Streets & Highways Code of the State of California dictates the process that a City must follow to vacate public rights-of-way. This step initiates the process the Council must follow in considering the proposed public right-of-way vacation. BACKGROUND: The City has been petitioned by the owner of land adjacent to Orange Avenue to vacate the entire portion of Orange Avenue adjacent to his property. Orange Avenue was created by the Map of Palm Springs Addition No. 1, recorded in Map Book 2, Page 27, records of Riverside County(recording date unknown). This plat is one of the older subdivision plats in the City, and the area of Orange Avenue that is subject to the requested vacation is that portion that intersects with the north side of Mesquite Avenue. All of the portions of this subdivision, including the platted streets, south of Mesquite Avenue have been incorporated into the City's Tahquitz Creek Golf Course. Orange Avenue is designated as a local street on the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan. It functions only to serve as access to the adjacent properties, and the requested vacation is consistent with staff's desire to dead-end this street and vacate the subject portion that exists as right-of-way, but is not yet constructed. The proposed right-of-way vacation was determined to be consistent with the General Plan and was approved by the Planning Commission at its March 27, 2002, meeting. If the City Council desires to consider the proposed right-of-way vacation, adoption of the attached Resolution of Intention will schedule a Public Hearing for M y 15, 2002. DAVID J.
