Building Adventures Inc., has requested the City of Redding close and permanently abandon the public street right-of-way interest to the area of Railroad Avenue adjacent to and between property addressed as 1807 Oregon Street (Assessor's Parcel Number 101- 120-008) and the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, bounded on the north by Sacramento Street and on the south by South Street, more particularly described in Exhibit A and shown crosshatched on Exhibit B attached and made a part hereof, hereafter called "Area of Abandonment." B. The Director of Public Works has investigated the proposed vacation, and has advised the City Council that subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Area of Abandonment will no longer be required for public street right-of-way and the underlying fee title belongs to Building Adventures Inc. C. At its meeting of August 28, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Redding declared that the closure and vacation of the Area of Abandonment is consistent with the City of Redding General Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS, DECLARES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: 1. The forgoing recitals are true and correct. CC 2. City Council elects to proceed in this matter under the provisions of the Public Streets, Highways and Services Easements Vacation Law, as set forth in Section 8300 et seq., of the Street and Highways Code of California, with the provision that this resolution shall be deemed a Resolution of Intention. 3. The proposed vacation is consistent with the General Plan. Vacating and abandoning this section of street would not compromise the street-circulation system or the General Plan Transportation Element Goal to maintain a safe and efficient local street system. Maintaining easements through the property for utility and pedestrian use is consistent with General Plan Goals to provide safe and efficient routes for walking and bicycling and supporting development in an efficient and orderly manner. 4. The proposed Area of Vacation is unnecessary for present or prospective public use as a street because it is not essential to local or citywide circulation and does not serve a critical public-street or traffic-circulation purpose. Therefore, the City Council intends to and hereby declares its intention to vacate that section of Railroad Avenue located adjacent to and between the property addressed as 1807 Oregon Street and the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way bounded on the north by Sacramento Street and on the south by South Street, more particularly described in Exhibit "A" and shown hatched on Exhibit "B" attached hereto, PROVIDED THAT this vacation shall not become effective until the following conditions have been satisfied: a. Dedication of a five-foot-wide easement along the east property line of 1807 Oregon Street for existing Redding Electrical Utility facilities. b. Dedication of a 10-foot-wide easement for AT&T underground facilities adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. c. Dedication of a 12-foot-wide easement for pedestrian and bicycle access adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. d. Construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk and any necessary tie-in paving along the South Street and Sacramento Street frontages of the property. 5. All persons interested in or objecting to the proposed vacation will be heard on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at the hour of 6 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chambers located at 777 Cypress Avenue. 6. The Public Works Director is hereby instructed to post or cause to be conspicuously posted notices of vacation along the line of the proposed area of vacation as set forth in Section 8323 of the Streets and Highways Code. The notices shall set forth adoption of this Resolution of Intention and the date, hour, and place of the hearing as set forth above. At least three such notices shall be posted at least two weeks prior to the date of hearing. 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution of intention, and cause the same to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Redding for two consecutive weeks before the public hearing of this proposed vacation.
