NisichdAg SUBJECT: Whites Canyon Road , 'Summary Vacation/Acceptance of Dedication Resolution Number: 92-112 Resolution.Number: 92-113 DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND Funding for the third phase of the Whites Canyon Road project has been challenging for both the City and the County. At your last meeting, the Council agreed to contribute 2.0 million dollars to move the project forward. Recently the County has indicated that they have reached a tentative agreement with Newhall Land and. Farming Company (NLF) which would save $1,500,000 of project costs. Without this savings, the project could not move forward toward construction at this time. The substance of this agreement is that NLF will donate street easements across their property at no costs in exchange for the City's release (vacation) of unnecessary street easements across NLF property and our support of their proposed zone change. Since the existing street easement is along the old roadway alignment and is not necessary for any future uses and the General Plan identifies the property suggested for a zone change as business park, both the release of the easement and the zone change are consistent with the City's future plans. Consistency with future planning, the saving of $1.5 million in right-of-way costs, and the assurance of project implementation are in the best interest of the City, the County, and the community. The right-of-way release can be accomplished by. the Council's adoption of a resolution of summary vacation. This summary vacation is allowed by state law without a public hearing whenever the Council finds that the street easement has not been used for what it was intended, it is superseded by other rights-of-way, and no access to properties is affected by the vacation. These facts all relate to this property and summary.vacation is appropriate. A related issue to the project is the Council's acceptance of rights -o£ -way offered for dedication of Via Princessa in 1987. This offer of dedication was required in anticipatiod of the connection of Via Princessa with Whites Canyon Road. The Council can effectuate this portion of the right-of-way by adopting Resolution No. 92-12.
