CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025
FROM: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: PROPOSED SUMMARY VACATION OF A PUBLIC UTILITY
EASEMENT LOCATED AT 2100 EAST HOWELL AVENUE
(ABA2025-00445)
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 14
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: YES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Resolution, pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code section 8330 et seq., vacate a Public Utility Easement at 2100 East Howell Avenue, as described in Exhibit A and as shown in Exhibit B of the attached Resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant, PI Stadium, LLC, has requested that the City of Anaheim (City) vacate the existing Public Utility Easement to clear title to their land. A new Public Utility Easement was acquired on April 22, 2025, to accommodate new electrical facilities as part of the development to construct two new industrial buildings.
The recommended vacation meets the criteria for a summary vacation in accordance with the Streets and Highways Code because the easement has been superseded by the removal of electrical facilities previously located in the easement, and there are no other public facilities located within the easement. The request has been reviewed by the Public Utilities Department, and there are no objections to the proposed vacation.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
There is no budgetary impact. City Council Policy No. 5.5 waives the requirements of compensation to the City when the abandonment meets the criteria for a summary vacation. Therefore, the City has no compensable interest in the easements.
Respectfully submitted,
Rudy Emami
Director of Public Works
