SUMMARY
New sidewalk and street improvements were recently completed at 3138 Baumberg Avenue. A portion of the existing street right-of-way, behind the new sidewalk, is not needed for public street purposes and has not been used as such in the past. The fronting property owner has requested the City to vacate the portion of the street right-of-way not needed for street purposes to allow uses not conflicting with existing public utilities in the area. The request submitted by the property owner conforms to the City adopted General Plan and its mobility and complete streets guidelines.
