WHEREAS, the Owner has requested that the City release the Public Service Easements, which are not necessary for present or prospective public utility purposes; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333, the City Council may summarily vacate a public service easement if, among other reasons, the easement has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years preceding the proposed vacation; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Public Service Easements are not necessary to the City for public utility purposes and they have not been used for the purpose for which they were dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years preceding this proposed vacation; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Class 5- Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations). Class 5 exempts from environmental review minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20 percent and which do not result in any changes in land use or density. The proposed action involves the vacation of public service easements where said easements have not been used for the purpose for which they were dedicated and will not cause or facilitate any changes in land use or density. Further, the average slope on these easements is less than 20 percent.
There are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class and, therefore, there are no unusual circumstances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Pasadena as follows:
1 . The City Council finds and determines from all evidence in the record, including, without limitation, all of the evidence submitted in the Agenda Report to the City Council dated January 31, 2022 from the Department of Water and Power, that the Public Service Easements as depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto have not been used for the purpose for which they were dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years immediately preceding the proposed vacation.
2. The City Council does hereby order the vacation of the Public Service Easements as depicted in Exhibit A.
3. The City Council hereby makes this vacation pursuant to the requirements of the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 9, Part 3, Chapter 4.
