Subject: Summary Vacation of Relinquishment of Access Rights over a Portion of Lot 3 of Subdivision Map No. 14962 Located on Whiptail Loop (VAC2023- 0001)
District: 2
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving a summary vacation of a relinqui shment of access rights over a por
tion of Lot 3 of Subdivision Map No. 14962 located on Whipt ail Loop.
Executive Summary
Access rights are conditions placed on developments in the planning process to establish where driveways can be located along public roa ds and, in some instances, developers relinquish the right to access certain areas where driv eways c annot be built.
The developer of three industrial buildings at 2750, 2762, and 2774 Whiptail Loop wants to relocate a driveway and has asked the city to give up part of the relinquishment of access rights that was established when the property was subdivided.
The request requires the City Council’s approval because California Streets and Highway Code Section 8333(c) gives the City Council the authority to act on summary vacation requests.
Explanation & Analysis
As a part of a site development plan per mit application, the developer has proposed to relocate the property’s driveway access from where it was initially shown on subdivision Map No. 14962 to a slightly diffe rent location.
The subdivider relinquished access to an area alon g t he front of the property in the original development process, and vehicle access to the property in those locations was not allowed.
The new driveway is to be in a 40-foot-wide portion of that area.
The City Planner approved a site development per mit for the project on Oct. 31, 2022 . (Exhibit 3) The site development plan proposed that the property’s ex isting d riveway be relocated to provide better access to the site, considering the building’s design and layout on the property.

Item #4 Page 1 of 18
The new driveway location does not conflict with neighboring driveways, provides clear visibility for drivers exiting the property and for drivers approaching the driveways and has been found to comply with all city engineering standards.
The approved site development plan permit included a condition of approval requiring the applicant to process a vacation of relinquishment of access rights associated with the original development approvals.
Section 8333(c) of the California Streets and Highways Code states that a public easement may be summarily vacated if the easement has been superseded by relocation and there are no public facilities located within the easement. The proposed vacation complies with this requirement, so city staff are recommending that the City Council approve the summary vacation of relinquishment of access rights. Staff have not identified any drawbacks in approving this request.
Fiscal Analysis
All fees necessary to process this summary vacation have been paid by the owner in accordance with the city’s fee ordinance.
Next Steps
The City Clerk will record this resolution, including all required recording documents, in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County. The relinquished access rights will be considered summarily vacated on the date this resolution is recorded by the County Recorder’s Office.
Environmental Evaluation
The City Planner has determined that, in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15168(c)(2) and (e), the project is a subsequent activity of the Carlsbad Raceway, a project for which a mitigated negative declaration was prepared.
This activity is within the scope of the program approved earlier and the program report adequately describes the activity for the purposes of CEQA. This project is consistent with the specific plan cited above and the project has no new significant environmental effects not analyzed as significant in the prior environmental impact report, so no further environmental review is required.
