SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF PRIVATE AND FUTURE STREET,
TRACT NO. 51931-02, LOTS 17, 18, AND 19 (TOWN CENTER
APARTMENTS)
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of private and future street,
shown on the attached Exhibits `B," "B-1," and `B-2"; and direct City staff to record the
certified original resolution in the office of the Registrar -Recorder of the County of
Los Angeles.
BACKGROUND
The developer, Jefferson II, L.P. a Delaware Limited Partnership, and Riverwalk, Ltd., a
Texas Limited Partnership, has requested to vacate a portion of a private and future street
easement shown on Tract No. 51931-02, Lots 17, 18, and 19 (Town Center Apartments).
The original plan for this area was to construct a trail connection to the river trail located
along the tract's north boundary. This trail connection is now planned westerly of the tract
boundary. Creekside Road and Fairways Drive were also constructed in this area and now
provide adequate traffic circulation for the site. Additionally, no public utilities are located
in this area. Therefore, the portion of easement to be vacated will no longer be needed and
is considered excess right-of-way. Staff believes that the developer's request is feasible and
recommends approval.
Under Section 8334 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency
may summarily vacate a public service easement if the easement is an excess right-of-way.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
