DISCUSSION
On October 18, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 23-1363, ordering the summary vacation of public utility easements, together with the right of ingress and egress, as previously dedicated on recorded Tract Map No. 32628 for the Adler Ranch development. The City Council also authorized the City Clerk to record the approved resolution along with Notice of Vacation No. 22-003 (VAC22-003) with the Riverside County Recorder’s Office.
The Riverside County Recorder’s Office did not accept the approved resolution and VAC22-003 for recordation stating that there was information that was not clearly legible on Tract Map No. 32628 (TM32628) attached to the resolution. The documents were returned to staff to review the attachments. Following review, staff determined that it was not a requirement for TM32628 to be attached to the resolution for the recordation of the documents. The map document for TM32628 has now been removed as a resolution attachment.
Given the change in attachments, language in the previously approved resolution has now been updated to remove references the TM32628 attachment. The proposed resolution is being
