WHEREAS, the Vacation Area could potentially be incorporated into the adjacent private property site to facilitate a more efficient development; and WHEREAS, the City desires to vacate its interest in the Vacation Area; and WHEREAS; the Public Works Agency has conducted an analysis of the subject abandonment and has determined that there are no issues with summarily vacating the Vacation Area presently or in the future, as the Vacation Area (1) is an excess right-of- way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes; (2) has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years immediately preceding this vacation; and (3) has been determined to be excess by the City, and there are no other public facilities located within the Vacation Area. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana as follows: Section 1. The recitals set forth above are adopted as findings in support of this Resolution. Section 2. The street right of way described in Exhibit A is hereby ordered vacated. Section 3. From and after the date of recordation of this resolution, the right of way described in Exhibit A will no longer constitute a street easement. Section 4. Except for the reservation of the easement described herein, the Vacation Area, as shown on Exhibit A, is hereby vacated pursuant to Chapter 4 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the streets and Highways Code. Section 5. The vacation of the Vacation Area is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant impact of the environment. Section 6. All entities having any right, title, or interest in the street right of way being vacated have been notified of this action. Section 7. The City hereby reserves and excepts from vacation, pursuant to section 8340 of California Streets and Highways Code, the easement and right at any time, or from time to time, to construct, maintain, operate, replace, remove, and renew sanitary sewers and storm drains and appurtenant structures in, upon, over, and across a street or highway proposed to be vacated and, pursuant to any existing franchise or renewals thereof, or otherwise, to construct, maintain, operate, replace, remove, renew, and enlarge lines of pipe, conduits, cables, wires, pole, and other convenient structures, equipment, and fixtures for the operation of gas pipelines, telegraphic and telephone lines, railroad lines, and for the transportation or distribution of electric energy, petroleum Resolution No. 2024-039 Page 2 of 4
