GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE A PORTION OF AN UNNAMED ALLEY IN THE FALLBROOK COMMUNITY PLAN AREA AND CEQA FINDING (VAC 2023-0205) (DISTRICT: 5)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Real Estate Division of the Department of General Services is processing a request from the owner (applicant) of Assessor's Parcel Numbers 103-222-07, -11, -14, -16, -18, -20, -23, and -24 to summarily vacate a portion of the unnamed alley between Fig Street and Elder Streets, and between Mission Road and Pico Ave, located in the Fallbrook Community Plan Area. A summary vacation is a streamlined process by which an excess public road, right-of-way, or a public service easement is abandoned. It may be requested by the County of San Diego (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. In this instance, the applicant is processing a Certificate of Compliance with Planning & Development Services to merge all their properties into one legal lot, as well as a grading permit to prepare the consolidated lot for the construction of a 60-unit affordable housing development.
The County Department of Public Works has determined that the portion of the unnamed alley is excess and no longer needed for present or future public use because it is not County-maintained and is not part of the General Plan Mobility Element. A road vacation often benefits the public by enabling improved use of the land it formerly occupied. The vacation was requested by the property owner and will remove encumbrances that could allow for better use of the subject properties 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 unnamed alley.
