Motion - On March 5, 2002, under Council File No. 01-1459, the City Council adopted new procedures for processing street vacations, which require the adoption of a Rule 16 motion to initiate street vacation proceedings. Under these new procedures, when a petitioner submits an application and a fee deposit to the Bureau of Engineering, the Chair of the Public Works Committee is required to introduce a motion for the purposes of assigning a Council File Number and initiating the investigation of the vacation.
Wilmington Properties, owner of the property bounded by "D" Street, McFarland Avenue, "E" Street, and Alameda Street, have submitted an application for a vacation located in Council District 15. The petitioners have also submitted a fee deposit to cover the cost of processing the vacation proceedings.
Additionally, the adoption of the following recommendations does not constitute or imply approval of the vacation.
THEREFORE MOVE that upon adoption of this motion, street vacation proceedings to vacate McFarland Avenue between "D" Street and "E" Street, be initiated pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code, Division 9, Part 3, Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law.
FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering be directed to investigate the feasibility of this vacation request.
FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering present its report regarding the feasibility of vacating the requested area to the Public Works Committee.
