Adopt a resolution declaring the City's intent to vacate portions of Baker Street, Berkeley <br />Street, and Occidental Street. <br />2. Set a public hearing for June 5, 2018. <br />On March 15, 2016, the City Council approved the Mater Dei High School Parking Structure and <br />School Expansion Project as shown on Exhibit 1. The proposed expansion is dependent on <br />acquisition of 19 private single-family residential parcels, and the vacation of portions of Baker <br />Street, Berkeley Street, and Occidental Street as shown on Exhibit 2. Mater Dei has recently <br />completed acquisition of the private properties and has applied for the street vacation. <br />The street segments to be vacated will be incorporated into the parking structure project. The <br />additional land area reduces the site's constraints and improves overall site function, such as <br />setbacks, building location, and site accessibility. <br />Utilities, other government agencies, and City departments have been advised of the street <br />vacation. Easements for utilities will be reserved in the resolution of vacation. An alley easement <br />will be dedicated to connect Berkeley Street and Occidental Street for trash, fire, and public <br />access. According to a recent Preliminary Title Report, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange is <br />identified as the fee owner of the land to be vacated. <br />The next step of the required legal process is adoption of a Resolution of Intent which describes <br />the project and sets a public hearing date for June 5, 2018 (Exhibit 3), at which time the order to <br />vacate may be approved by the City Council. <br />12A-1 <br />
