SUMMARY
The City Council received a staff report at its regularly scheduled meeting on January 29, 2019 stating that a portion of the existing street right-of-way, behind the new sidewalk at 3138 Baumberg Avenue, is not needed for street purposes. The Council adopted Resolution No. 19-017 setting a public hearing at tonight’s meeting to consider vacating the said right-of-way. The notice of public hearing was published and posted on site as per the requirements of California Streets and Highways Code Sections 8322 and 8323. 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.
