6.2.B. - Page 2 The original right -of -way was granted by right -of -way easement dedication, therefore the City does not have fee ownership of the area proposed for abandonment. For this reason the City's interest in this property may be relinquished but cannot be sold. The Street Vacation Act of 1941 authorizes the vacation of all or part of any city street, by an order of City Council. The general vacation, once complete, will relinquish the City's interest in the right -of -way and the right -of -way area will revert to the adjacent owner, who appears to be Kaiser Permanente. The right- of -way proposed for vacation is more particularly described in a legal description and plat map attached to this report as exhibits to the proposed resolution. Should this resolution of intent to vacate be approved by the City Council, next steps are as follow pursuant to the California Streets & Highway Code, Section 8320. 1. Publish notices in the newspaper for two successive weeks prior to the hearing; 2. Post the property lines with at least three notices in conspicuous places not more than 300 feet apart; and 3. Hold the public hearing and receive evidence on November 14, 2011 from all persons interested in the matter and determine from the evidence whether or not the street is unnecessary for present or prospective public use. In addition, the City will send notices to property owners within 300 feet and also notify affected utilities. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to adopt a Resolution of Intent to vacate a portion of Walnut Street which would be contrary to the intent of the parties. FISCAL IMPACT This action will not impose any new financial responsibility to the City at this time. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW As the lead agency, City of Redwood City has determined that the actions proposed in this reports do not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act.
