SUBJECT:

GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY

VACATE PORTIONS OF QUARRY ROAD AND SWEETWATER

ROAD, AND QUITCLAIM PORTIONS OF A SANITATION DISTRICT

ACCESS ROAD EASEMENT, IN THE SWEETWATER COMMUNITY

PLAN AREA, AND RELATED CEQA FINDINGS (DISTRICT: 1)

OVERVIEW

The Real Estate Division of the Department of General Services is processing a request from

5780 Quarry Road, LLC (applicant), owner of Assessor’s Parcel Number 586-050-62, to

summarily vacate interests dedicated to the County of San Diego (County) for portions of Quarry

Road and Sweetwater Road public highway easement that encumber portions of their property.

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 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 Secure Space Self-Storage Bonita Project (project) was approved by the Board of

Supervisors on April 9, 2025 (4). The project is a commercial self-storage facility with

approximately 1,023 self-storage units within a two-story building, 109 covered recreational

vehicle (RV) parking spaces, a public trail, and a 1.97-acre open space easement on the northern

portion of the site. The project also includes frontage improvements on Quarry Road and

realignment of the intersection with Sweetwater Road.

Today’s action includes quitclaiming portions of an access road easement for sewer line

maintenance dedicated to the San Diego County Sanitation District (District). Quitclaiming an

easement is a process to give up all rights, title, and interest granted to the District for the

easement. All the easement interests are located within the applicant’s property on the southeast

corner of Sweetwater Road and Quarry Roads (Attachment A), and are in the unincorporated

Sweetwater Community Plan Area. In many cases, the vacation and quitclaim can be a public

benefit through improved use of the land made available by the vacation and quitclaim. The

applicant has approved plans to build a Secure Space Self-Storage Bonita Project (Project).

The County Department of Public Works (DPW) has determined that the portions of Quarry

Road and Sweetwater Road proposed for vacation are excess and no longer needed for present or

future public use because the existing ROW’s exceed the minimum required half widths along

the project frontages, and the remaining ROW’s will meet or exceed the minimum required half

widths for those classifications of roads. The Project requires a realignment and improvements

to Quarry Road including the construction of a 10.5’ wide pathway along the property frontage

adjacent to the traveled way, the new ROW would be along the easterly edge of the pathway.

Sweetwater Road also requires a 10.5’ wide pathway along the property frontage, the new ROW

would be 3’ easterly of the pathway edge. 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 as conditioned by County Planning & Development Services (PDS) Department and will

reduce encumbrances that will allow for better use of the subject property.

Portions of the access road easement for sewer line maintenance have been determined to be

excess by the District because prior to quitclaiming portions of the original easement, a

replacement access road easement will be dedicated to the District for their maintenance road

access needs. Health and Safety Code section 4743 authorizes the District to dispose of property

or interests in property that are no longer required or needed. Health and Safety Code section

4740 gives the District the authority to acquire interests in property that are convenient to the

operation of District sewer facilities.

Today’s request is for the Board of Supervisors (Board) to adopt a resolution to summarily

vacate the excess portions of Quarry Road and Sweetwater Road. If authorized by the Board,

acting as the Board of Directors of the District, the Director of the Department of General

Services, or an authorized designee, will execute and record a deed to quitclaim portions of the

District’s interest in the access easement for sewer line maintenance (Attachment B).

RECOMMENDATION(S)

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

Acting as Board of Directors of the San Diego County Sanitation District:

1. Find that portions of the access road easement are no longer required for District

purposes.

2. Approve and authorize the Director, Department of General Services, or authorized

designee, to take all necessary action to accept a replacement access easement acceptable

to the District and thereafter execute and record a quitclaim deed for the excess portions

of access road easement as depicted in Attachment B.

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT

The removal of encumbrances from private land that are no longer needed for street or highway

purposes, and access road purposes, will provide an overall public benefit and improve the use

of the land made available by the vacation and quitclaim. The property benefiting from these

actions is in a Rural Residential zoned area and will allow the property owner better use of their

property. The vacation and quitclaim of these easements will not preclude future development.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT

The proposed action to summarily vacate portions of Sweetwater and Quarry Roads and

quitclaiming an access road easement for sewer maintenance contributes to the County of San

Diego Sustainability Goal No. 1 to engage the community to partner and participate in decisions

that impact their lives and communities, and Goal No. 2 to provide just and equitable access to

develop their land. These goals have also been implemented by the Sanitation District. This

action will impact the property owner directly by providing improved use of the property by

unencumbering portions of their property.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operational Plan in the

Department of General Services. If approved, this request will result in estimated costs and

revenue of $11,000 to process the proposed vacation and quitclaim. The funding source is a

deposit from the applicant. There will be no change in net General Fund costs and no additional

staff years.
