In the event the resolution is adopted, authorize the City Manager to convey the City's fee interest in the excess right-of-way to In-N-Out Burgers, a California Corporation, in the amount of $2,500. DISCUSSION On November 19, 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City's intent to vacate a portion of Bristol Street at 815 North Bristol Street (Exhibit 1). The portion of street right-of-way to be vacated is an 11' by 184' strip of land situated behind the existing easterly Bristol Street sidewalk, and is not being used for street purposes. The 2,024-square-foot space is currently improved with grass and concrete driveways for the In-N-Out restaurant. In addition, the proposed Bristol Street Improvement project adjacent to the site, which is scheduled to begin construction in late summer of 2020, will not require use of the area to be vacated. A portion of the subject street right-of-way (1,474 square feet) was conveyed to the City of Santa Ana as street easement through deeds in 1965 and 1974, and the remaining 550-square-foot portion was granted to the City in fees in 1975 at the time of the original In-N-Out restaurant construction. The value of the 550-square-foot fee ownership portion is determined to be nominal, considering the property's lack of independent development potential, as well as its limited or non- existent marketability. However, In-N-Out Burgers has agreed to compensate the City $2,500 for the fee interest. City staff is recommending adoption of the resolution to vacate this portion of Bristol Street (Exhibit 2) because the excess right-of-way offers no present or prospective use to the City. Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the street vacation. There are no known utilities or utility easements in the subject vacation area. 75A-1
