EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate a portion of dedicated street right-of-way that has not been constructed as
a street and is no longer needed for public street purposes. The location of this street right of way is located at
the rear of the building at 2505 South College Avenue and east of the railroad tracks. The property owners of
2505 S. College Avenue have requested this vacation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1974, a deed recorded in Book 1605 at Page 310 dedicated a street right-of-way. The portion to be vacated is
not currently constructed as a street and is no longer needed for public street purposes. With the vacation, the
City will retain a utility easement.
The applicant has ownership of the adjacent land. All public and private utilities were notified for the proposed
vacation and they report no objections to the vacation request.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers and potentially impacted City departments.
The adjacent property owner and the person requesting the vacation are the same, so no letters were sent to
adjacent property owners.
