SUMMARY VACATION OF A PORTION OF RUTHSPRING
DRIVE WITHIN TRACT MAP NO. 28531
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of a portion of Ruthspring Drive
dedicated to the County of Los Angeles by Tract Map No. 28531; and direct the City Clerk to
record the certified original resolution in the office of the Registrar -Recorder of the County of
Los Angeles.
BACKGROUND
Yousif Jacob, the current owner of residential property on Ruthspring Drive, has requested that
the City vacate a portion of Ruthspring Drive that was previously dedicated to the County of Los
Angeles by Tract Map No. 28531. 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 Ruthspring Drive, meaning that the City may
choose to vacate this property.
The current Sand Canyon Trail System Plan contains no current or anticipated trail requirements
for Ruthspring Drive. Two existing residences, located at 15650 and 15684 Warmsprings Drive,
(see attached Exhibit "C") preclude the extension of Ruthspring Drive, or any associated trails,
beyond the westerly boundary of Tract Map No. 28531. It is the opinion of staff that this
summary vacation will not affect any existing or proposed trails.
