Title
Resolution of Intent to Vacate Roadway Rights in a 50-foot by 178-foot Area Fronting 2727 S. State Street (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The petitioner, MAV Development, requests the vacation of unexercised City roadway rights to allow development of a proposed financial institution building at 2727 S. State Street.
The petitioner requests the City vacate an approximately 50-foot wide, 178-foot long right for future roadway across 2727 South State Street. The City obtained the right to use this area for roadway in 1973 and has not exercised this right to date. This area is currently part of a parking lot belonging to the parcel at 2727 S. State Street.
In the past, the City obtained 50-foot wide rights for roadway from 2727 South State as well as other parcels along South State Street. These parcels are not contiguous and the City has no plans to obtain similar rights from other parcels or to use the existing ones.
Project Management and Systems Planning Unit staff evaluated this location and its position relative to future road improvements and determined it was farther north than a potential boulevard would expect to be constructed. Planning staff noted that the building pattern is largely fixed to the north. Vacating these roadway rights will not alter the existing S. State roadway and will make the front setback at 2727 S. State consistent with buildings on nearby parcels.
Approval of this resolution announces the City's intent to vacate its roadway rights over the described area and serves as notification that City Council will hold a public hearing on this vacation on November 6, 2014. A resolution to approve the vacation also will be scheduled and placed on the November 6, 2014 Council agenda.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 3, 2014 and recommended approval of the proposed roadway rights vacation. A map indicating the area proposed for vacation is attached.
