GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE A PORTION OF ENGINEERS ROAD, IN THE CUYAMACA COMMUNITY OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN SUBREGIONAL PLAN AREA AND CEQA EXEMPTION (VAC 2022-0160) (DISTRICT: 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Asset Management Division of the Department of General Services is processing a request from the owner/applicant of Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 290-141-42, to summarily vacate a portion of Engineers Road that bisects with the owner's property. A summary vacation is a streamlined process by which an excess public road, right-of-way, or a public service easement is abandoned. In this situation, the public road is not developed and is not currently being used because the road has been constructed in a different location.
A summary vacation may be requested by the County or the public if the easement interests are found to be excess to County needs and are not required for the purposes for which they were obtained. The property subject to the vacation is located within the Cuyamaca Community of the Central Mountain Subregional Plan Area. County Department of Public Works has determined that the portion of Engineers Road is excess and no longer needed for present or future public use because this portion was never constructed, is not County-maintained, and is not a part of the General Plan Mobility Element. The vacation was requested by the property owner and will remove an encumbrance that could allow for better use of the subject property and allow for the potential for future development at the owner's discretion.
Today's request is for the Board of Supervisors to adopt a Resolution to summarily vacate this portion of Engineers Road.
