Analysis
• Pursuant to Section 8333(a) of the Streets and
Highways Code, the City may summarily vacate
public service easements if the easement has not
been used for the purpose for which it was
dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years
immediately preceding the proposed vacation. This
Emergency Vehicle Access easement meets this
requirement as it has never been used for public
utilities or public drainage.

• This action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15305, minor alterations in land use limitations.
Recommendation

Development Department that the Council, by resolution, approve a summary vacation of an Emergency Vehicle
Access easement for the property located at 3901
