BACKGROUND
Ruth Camargo, the current owner of residential property on Bouquet Canyon Road, has requested
that the City vacate an unused 40 feet wide right-of-way portion on Bouquet Canyon Road,
originally reserved for road purposes as dedicated to the County of Los Angeles,
December 4, 1970, as Instrument No. 3474, on Assessor's Parcel Map No. 2812-008-021. Per
Section 8331 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may
summarily vacate a street or highway if both of the following conditions exist:
(a) For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for
vehicular travel; and
(b) No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.
Both of these conditions exist on this portion of Bouquet Canyon Road, meaning that the City
may choose to vacate this property.
The proposed widening of Bouquet Canyon Road in the present alignment and the proposed
future alignment will not be affected by this abandonment.
