DISCUSSION
Land Development staff have reviewed the request for the street vacation based on the applicable subdivision map and other property information provided by the applicant, NWB Moreno Valley, LLC. The proposed vacation of this portion of Alessandro Boulevard would abandon the City’s rights for public use, with the exception of reserving easements as requested by Crown Castle Communications and Charter Spectrum for existing communication facilities. An access easement will also be reserved for Eastern Municipal Water District for access to its property.
The proposed vacation of the five (5) -foot portion of right-of-way along Alessandro Boulevard is consistent with the Streets and Highways Code, Division 9, Part 3, Chapter
3. A resolution declaring the City’s intent to vacate the right-of-way is required as part of the street vacation process.
On March 26, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the street vacation for this portion of Alessandro Boulevard. Planning Division staff reviewed the proposed stre et vacation and determined that t he project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32, In -Fill Development Projects).
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution, which would set a Public Hearing date of June 2 , 2026, at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting to consider the proposed vacation.
