Issue Detail: On February 5, 2019, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2019-0040 to vacate the public utility easements at 2601 Redding Avenue to accommodate new construction of student housing. Through an oversight, the legal description and plat attachments were not signed by a licensed surveyor. The attached resolution includes the proper signed documents and will replace Resolution No. 2019-0040.
Policy Considerations: The action recommended in this report is consistent with the Sacramento 2035 General Plan and is in compliance with the California Streets and Highways Code Sections 8300-8333, particularity Section 8333 (c) in that the easement proposed to be vacated is an excess easement and there are no public facilities located within the easement.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations: The Community Development Department, Environmental Planning Services Division has reviewed this vacation/abandonment of the public utility easements and determined that this is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15305, Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitation. The project consists of the minor alteration in land use limitations with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density.
Sustainability: Not applicable
