SUBJECT:
Vacate a Portion of Bleriot Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comments pursuant to Section 8320, subdivision (a) of the California Streets and Highways Code and adopt Resolution 2022-047 to vacate a portion of Bleriot Street, as described in Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B”.
BACKGROUND
On October 5, 2021, City Council approved Final Tract Map 17959 to create 31 single-family residential lots on approximately 15.6 gross acres located south from the southwest corner of Ranchero Road and Farmdale Avenue. Thereafter, staff discovered a discrepancy that during the recordation process of Final Tract Map 17959, Bleriot Street was not vacated per the map.
This error violated the Subdivision Map Act and affected the parcel boundary lines for four residential lots altering the square footage and assessed property values. Marshall Engineering was notified of the discrepancy and prepared a notice of intent to vacate a portion of Bleriot Street located within Tract Map No. 17959 to correct the issue.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Public right-of way should be vacated upon finding that those areas are no longer required for public access. Staff has reviewed the Final Tract Map along with the application and determined that this dedication for highway and road purposes is not needed.
Streets and Highways Code Section 8320 allows local agencies to vacate any streets, highways, and public service easements by resolution. Street and Highways Code Section 8320 also requires that a public hearing be held for all persons interested in the proposed vacation not less than 15 days after the initiation of proceedings and requires local agencies to post Notices of Vacation along the street proposed to be vacated. Notices of Vacation were posted on June 6, 2022 along the proposed vacation site. These notices include the intent of the City of Hesperia to vacate a portion of Bleriot Street as described in attachments Exhibits “A” and “B” as well as the date and time of the public hearing.
The proposed area to be vacated is private property and thereby is not required for street or highway purposes under Section 8334, subdivision (a) of the Streets and Highways Code.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
Provide alternative direction to staff.
