GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE A PORTION OF VINE STREET IN THE LAKESIDE COMMUNITY PLAN AREA AND CEQA FINDING (VAC 2025-0002) (DISTRICT: 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Real Estate Division of the Department of General Services is processing a request from Neighborhood Healthcare (applicant), owner of Assessor's Parcel Number 394-064-19 to summarily vacate a portion of the Vine Street public highway easement that encumbers a portion of their property located on the southeast corner of Vine Street and Laurel Avenue in the unincorporated area of Lakeside. The vacated area will be used by the applicant for their construction of a healthcare facility. The property is within the Lakeside Community Plan Area. A summary vacation is a streamlined process by which an excess public road right-of-way (ROW), 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.
The County Department of Public Works has determined that the portion of Vine Street proposed for vacation is excess and no longer needed for present or future public use because the remaining ROW will meet the minimum required half width for this classification of road. 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 reduce encumbrances that will allow for better use of the subject property.
Today's request is for the Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution to summarily vacate this excess portion of Vine Street and associated recommendations.
