RESOLUTION NO. 1720
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH FINDING THE VACATION OF A 134 SQ. FT.
UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF AN EXISTING STREET AND PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT AT THE EAST SIDE OF HUNTINGTON STREET (AT 102 AND 104
HUNTINGTON STREET), NORTH OF ATLANTA AVENUE, IS IN CONFORMANCE
WITH THE GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE GENERAL PLAN
(GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE NO. 21-002)
WHEREAS, the Government Code of the State of California, Section 65402, provides that a local agency shall not acquire real property, nor dispose of any real property, nor construct a public building or structure in any county or city until the location, purpose, and extent of such activity has been reported upon as to conformity with the adopted General Plan; and WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the subject request and submitted it to the Planning Commission for review on March 22, 2022; and
WHEREAS, staff has indicated the applicable CEQA exemption pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 5 and applicable General Plan goals and policies to establish conformance with the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach finds the proposed vacation of an undeveloped portion of an existing street and public utility easement upon subject properties is exempt from CEQA and in conformance with the goals and policies of the General Plan as follows:
A. Land Use Element
Policy LU-1 (A): Ensure that development is consistent with the land use designations presented in the Land Use Map, including density, intensity, and use standards applicable to each land use designation.
The proposed vacation of a 134 sq. ft. undeveloped portion of an existing street and public utility easement will not negatively impact surrounding property owners or public users of the street because an easement consistent with the existing public improvements will remain intact. Upon vacation, the fee title for the area will revert to the residential property owners.
B. Circulation Element
Goal CIRC-1 (A): The circulation system supports existing, approved, and planned land uses while maintaining a desired level of service and capacity on streets and at critical intersections.
Policy CIRC-1 (J): Investigate current jurisdictional control of roadways and determine where adjustments may be made in the future.
Goal CIRC-6: Connected, well-maintained, and well-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to-day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities.
C. Coastal Element
Objective CE 2.1: Balance the circulation system with the circulation demands generated by the implementation of the Coastal Land Use Plan.
The subject area to be vacated is an excess portion of a public right-of-way easement and is no longer essential to the public right-of-way infrastructure required to provide the public sidewalk and improvements abutting the adjoining streets. Vacating an undeveloped 134 sq. ft. portion of the existing street and public utility easement will not have a detrimental impact on the current vehicular and pedestrian circulation system.
The remaining 20-ft. corner radius at the back of the existing public sidewalk is adequate to provide the necessary public access improvements.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular meeting held on the day of 2022, by the following roll call vote:
