PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommend that City Council adopt a resolution approving Abandonment No. 2010 -03. Approved by a vote of 6:0 (Alderete absent) at the meeting of October 10, 2011. DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency (Agency) is requesting that the City vacate a portion of Concord Street south of Fruit Street (Exhibit 1). The area being vacated will be combined with two landlocked parcels owned by the Agency and reconfigured through a lot line adjustment for the development of two single - family residences (Exhibit 2). The area being vacated was a formerly improved portion of Concord Street, which extended from Fruit Street to Mabury Street. The middle portion of the street was acquired by the State of California (Caltrans) for the widening of the Santa Ana Freeway (1 -5). As part of the widening project, Caltrans improved the terminus of Concord Street with the construction of a cul -de -sac, which created the approximately 3,714 square feet of excess street right -of -way. Two neighboring parcels to the area being vacated became landlocked as a result of the new street configuration. The vacation along with the lot line adjustment will allow the parcels street frontage. The utility companies, other government agencies, and City departments have been advised of the street vacation, and do not object to the street vacation. An existing sewer main crosses the area being vacated and the two parcels. An easement to the City will be granted through a separate instrument. 12A -1 Abandonment No. 10 -03 Intent To Vacate a portion of Concord Street November 7, 2011 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review.
