Discussion /Analvsis
California Government Code 65402 stipulates that the City of Imperial cannot vacate or abandon streets unless such actions align with the General Plan. The vacation of O Street between 2nd Street and 3rd Street has been confirmed to comply with the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan. According to the City of Imperial General Plan Circulation Element, streets are classified based on the traffic levels they are designed to serve. O Street as a whole is not designated as a Major or Secondary Arterial and has not been built to its full capacity. All parts of O Street are classified as local streets, meaning they are not crucial for traffic flow. P Street, to the East of O Street, is classified as a secondary arterial and has enough capacity to handle any increased traffic resulting from the vacation of any portion of O Street, and will not disrupt local circulation.
The project aligns with the General Plan's Land Use Element by promoting economic growth and development within the Rail-Served Industrial Zone. The vacation of the proposed portion of O Street ensures adequate parking spaces for the planned office suites. Once the development is finalized, it will help attract a more diverse business community, encourage redevelopment and revitalization, and foster economic prosperity while also enhancing the area's aesthetics.
The City of Imperial's Planning Commission hetd a public hearing on December 70,2O25, and adopted Resolution PC2025-16, confirming its conformance with the City's General Plan. The first public hearing for the intent to vacate is scheduled before the City Council on February 4,2026, and,the second publichearingto approvethe finalvacation is scheduled for February t8,2026.
