SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF AN UNUSED 40 -FOOT WIDE
ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO BOUQUET CANYON
ROAD
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution summarily vacating the unused 40 -foot wide right-of-way located
in Book 1256 of Official Records, Page 308, within Assessor Parcel No. 2812-008-021 and
adjacent to Bouquet Canyon Road; 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
Ruth Camargo, the current property owner of Assessor Parcel No. 2812-008-021, is making a
second request to vacate the unused 40 -foot wide right-of-way that exists on her property. This
right-of-way was originally dedicated by deed to the County of Los Angeles for road purposes on
October 23, 1922, in Book 1256 of Official Records, Page 308, within Ms. Camargo's property
(Assessor Parcel No. 2812-008-021) and adjacent to Bouquet Canyon Road.
Ms. Camargo's original request to vacate the unused 40 -foot wide right-of-way was denied by
City Council on June 27, 2006. Staff was directed to make a determination if this vacation would
negatively impact future trail alignment in the area. Staff has researched this issue, and has
determined that this summary vacation will not affect the proposed future widening and
realignment of Bouquet Canyon Road, nor will this action affect the associated future Class II
bike trail which will be contained completely within the proposed widening.
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; therefore City Council may summarily vacate the unused 40 -foot
wide right-of-way.
