Mr. William Perkins, owner of the property of 1550 Broadway, applied for the
vacation of a portion of Broadway adjacent to his parcel in November 1986. A
public hearing was held on January 6, 1987, at which time Council considered
this matter. Subsequent to the close of the hearing, Council referred the
matter to staff for further study.
The study has been completed by consultant and, in accordance with state laws,
Council must again adopt a resolution of intention to vacate the subject
portion of right-of-way, setting a public hearing to consider the matter.
• RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the subject resolution of intention and
set a public hearing for November 3, 1987, at 4:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Nat applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. William Perkins, owner of the property at 1550 Broadway, submitted an
application to this department requesting that the City vacate a portion of
Broadway right-of-way along the frontages of his property and the property to
the north. (Lots 2 and 3 of Starfire Sports Subdivision, Map No. 8017,
recorded September 11, 1974.} The reason given for the request is that his
property is sub-standard in terms of parking capacity. In order for the
applicant to fully use the lot in .accordance with the zoning, additional
parking area is necessary.
Presently, there is a one-way travel lane aligned with Silvas Street (see
Exhibit "B"), a north-south minor street which extends south from Anita Street
to Main Street, approximately 1,400 feet in length. It has been determined
that this travel lane is unnecessary and the deletion would not cause a
hazardous situation at the intersection.
The Planning Department has been contacted regarding this matter and it has no
objections to the proposed vacation.

We have notified all utility companies who may have facilities in the affected
right-of-way. We will reserve easen-ents far those objecting to the vacation
because of their existing facilities.
We have also noticed all property owners along the southerly portion of Silvas
Street from Anita Street to Hain Street.
In accordance with Subsection 8320 of the California Streets and Highways
Code, the City Council must adopt a Resolution of Intention to vacate
right-of-way and the resolution must include the following:
1. A declaration of the intention of the legislative body to vacate;
2. A statement that the vacation proceeding is conducted under Chapter 3 of
the Streets and Highways Code;
3. A description of the general location and extent of the street being
vacated with reference to a map or plan on file in the office of the local
agency;
4. The date, hour and place for hearing all persons interested in the
proposed vacation.
• A condition of approval of the street vacation will be that the applicant
shall bear the cost of the engineering and construction to modify the
northwest corner to accommodate right-turn traffic. This will include
increasing the curb return radius to 35 feet which necessitates relocation of
a signal standard and possible relocation of a 3'x5' SDG&E vault. The
applicant has been advised of these requirements.
