Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the Los Angeles County Registrar -Recorder's office. BACKGROUND The sanitary sewer easement to be vacated was originally dedicated to the City of Santa Clarita (City) on Tract Map for Tract No. 73858, recorded on December 18, 2020. The 10-foot-wide easement, as shown on the attached Location Map, is located within the Plum Canyon multifamily apartment project approved by the City Planning Division on December 30, 2019, under Master Case No. MC19-171. The easement being vacated is no longer necessary as the sanitary sewer serving this project has been relocated and a new easement has been dedicated to the City under a separate document recorded on July 7, 2025, as Instrument No. 20250480303. Per Division 9, Part 3, Section 8333 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate a public service easement if any of the following conditions exist: The easement has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years immediately preceding the proposed vacation. Page 1 Packet Pg. 90 2. The date of dedication or acquisition is less than five years, and more than one year, immediately preceding the proposed vacation, and the easement was not used continuously since that date. 3. The easement has been superseded by relocation, or determined to be excess by the easement holder, and there are no other public facilities located within the easement. City staff has determined the easement as described and shown on Exhibits "A" and "B" of the attached resolution has been superseded by relocation. Therefore, staff is recommending the easement to be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted FY 2025-26 budget.
