When Caltrans made the improvements on San Fernando Road, Railroad Avenue which originally intersected San Fernando Road was realigned to turn at a right angle onto 4th Street - see attached vicinity map. Curb and gutter was constructed along San Fernando Road and along the right angle turn from Railroad Avenue to 4th Street. Consequently, there is a portion of right-of-way for Railroad Avenue which is no longer necessary. This item is to initiate proceedings for a vacation of public right-of-way. The procedure governing the vacation of streets, alleys, and easements is: set forth in the Government Code. In brief, that procedure calls for the Council to first adopt a Resolution of Intention, set a date for a public hearing, and post a notice along the right-of-way of the proposed vacation. The hearing may be held not less than 15 days following the adoption of the Resolution. The hearing date is scheduled for July 24, 1990, and this date is specified within the Resolution. Prior to the hearing, staff will investigate the need to reserve utility easements and what, if any, improvements might be necessary to the vacated alley. That the City Council approve Resolution No. 90-121, declaring its intention to vacate a portion of Railroad Avenue as described on Exhibit A and shown on "Exhibit B", and give notice of a public hearing to be held on Tuesday, July 24, 1990, at 6:30 p.m. Notices will be published and posted as required by the Street Vacation Act.
