Adopt a resolution declaring the City's intent to vacate a portion of public alley and Bush Street. 2. Set a public hearing for June 5, 2018. DISCUSSION On February 20, 2018, the City Council approved the entitlements of development for the Hampton Inn Hotel project located at 2129 North Main Street. The project involves the construction of a six -story hotel building and a new parking lot, and the use of two historic structures for hotel amenities. The project area of 1.9 acres consists of an existing city -owned parking lot, a portion of Bush Street, a portion of a public alley, and privately owned properties to be acquired by the developer, Net Development Company. To allow the developer to utilize portions of a public alley and Bush Street, these public easements must be abandoned. These two easement areas proposed for vacation are not needed for present or future purposes, nor for circulation. During the review process, it was discovered that the subject portion of Bush Street was owned by the State of California. On February 20, 2018 a resolution adopted by the California Transportation Commission was recorded, which officially relinquished the rights of the properties to the City. The subject portion of Bush Street is identified through a title report to be vested in the City. The public alley is also identified to be vested in the City. The street and alley portion requested by the developer to be abandoned is shown in Exhibit 1. A 3 -point turnaround area, known as a "hammerhead", will be constructed within the project property where it connects to the remaining public alley segment. At Bush Street, the construction of a new cul-de-sac will allow vehicles to turn around. The alley easement and Bush 1213-1 Abandonment No. 18-01: Intent to Vacate Portions of Bush Street and Public Alley May 1, 2018 Page 2 Street area to be abandoned are approximately 5,273 square feet and 9,163 square feet respectively. Utility companies, other government agencies and City departments were advised of the street vacation. There are existing overhead and underground utilities within the proposed vacated area. Therefore, a public utility easement will be reserved in the proposed resolution. The next step of the required legal process is adoption of a Resolution of Intent which describes the project and sets a public hearing date of June 5, 2018 (Exhibit 2), at which time the order to vacate may be approved by the City Council. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT This item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The abandonment is addressed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Hampton Inn Hotel project, ER No. 2017-96, which was certified by City Council on February 20, 2018. No further CEQA analysis is required. I FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Edwin "William" G E. Acting Executive irector Public Works Agency Exhibits: 1.
