TO: THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL ['✓ i _ FROM: Dirk Lovett, Assistant City Engineer DATE: January 24 , 1994 (Council Meeting of February 2 , 1994) SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Vacation of a Portion of Science Drive Vacation No. V-94-1 (Affects Parcel Map No . 3828) OVERVIEW: This item asks the City Council to conduct a Public Hearing on the matter of its previously declared intention to vacate a portion of Science Drive. At this hearing all interested persons shall be heard and the evidence considered regarding the matter. If, after closing the public hearing and considering the evidence presented, the City Council finds it appropriate, it is then necessary for the Council to consider a Resolution ordering the vacation of a portion of Science Drive. This item does not contain such a resolution for the Council' s consideration. Due to certain present circumstances (See Discussion) and without prejudice such a resolution to vacate is more appropriate at a future date. BACKGROUND On September 14, 1993 the City Council approved Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 93-1 providing for the development of Parcels 5, 6 and 7 of Parcel Map 3828 . The proposed development showed the realignment of a portion of the cul-de-sac of Science Drive. To effect the development as approved requires the vacation of a portion of the existing right-of-way of Science Drive and acceptance of an offer of dedication, for street and highway purposes, of a portion of the adjacent property (Parcel 7) . On January 5, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution No. 94-996 declaring its intention to vacate a portion of Science Drive and setting forth February 2, 1994 at 7 :00 P.M. in the Community Center as the time, date and place for a public hearing on the matter. Page 1 of 5 On January 20, 1994 and January 27 , 1994 notice of the vacation and the date, hour and place of the public hearing was published in the Moorpark News Mirror in conformance with the resolution of intention and §8340 of the Streets and Highways Code. On January 18, 1994 notice of the vacation and the date, hour and place of the public hearing was posted along the line of the street in conformance with the resolution of intention and §8341 of the Streets and Highways Code. In accordance with §8346 and §8347 of the Streets and Highways Code public utilities on the City's index of requests for notice of vacation proceedings have been given written notice. As required by § 65402 of the Government Code, no street shall be vacated until the Planning Commission has reported on the proposed location, purpose and extent as to conformity with the Moorpark General Plan. By Planning Commission Resolution No. 286, adopted at its meeting of December 6, 1993 , this proposed vacation was found to be in conformance with the Moorpark General Plan. As required by § 2381 of the Streets and Highways Code rights-of- ways established for other purposes shall not be abandoned unless the governing body (City Council) determines that the rights-of-way are not useful as a non-motorized transportation facility. The Planning Commission considered this at the time it studied conformity with the Moorpark General Plan. It found and, in its Resolution No. 286, recommended to the City Council to find that the proposed vacation was not necessary for a non-motorized transportation facility. The applicant/owners (G & S Partnership) of Parcels 5, 6 and 7 had previously requested to adjust the common property line between Parcels 5 and 6 and the common line between Parcels 6 and 7 . Lot Line Adjustment No. 93-8 moved these lines to a new and common location. This lot line adjustment was approved and recently recorded. This fact is presented here for information, but has no material effect on these vacation proceedings. DISCUSSION: This vacation proceeding is undertaken in accordance with Division 9, Part 3 (Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law) , of the Streets and Highways Code (commencing with § 8300 et seq. ) which provides a procedure and requirements for vacating streets . Subsequent to its declaration of intention to vacate and prior to ordering this vacation the legislative body is required to conduct Page 2 of 5 a Public Hearing on the matter. Upon hearing testimony and receiving evidence at the hearing the Council must then consider the evidence and make certain findings of fact after which it may adopt a resolution of vacation. Findings of Fact : • the street, highway or public service easement is unnecessary for present or prospective public use. • the right-of-way is not useful as a non-motorized transportation facility. The portion of Science Drive proposed to be vacated was, generally, described in Resolution No. 94-996 (Resolution of Intention) and is more particularly described in Exhibit "A" . This area is further shown as "Proposed Street Vacation" in Exhibit "B" . As there are existing public service and utility facilities within the area proposed to be vacated, the owners and/or operators have been advised of this request to vacate. Responses have been received from all . No agencies or companies have indicated that they object to such vacation. However, all have indicated that if the existing right-of-way is vacated they desire that the City retain suitable public service easements for their existing facilities, if satisfactory arrangements cannot be made regarding removal or relocation of existing facilities . The requestor of this vacation action has indicated that efforts are in progress to arrange for the relocation of all existing facilities, which if accomplished to the satisfaction of the respective agency or utility company would negate any need to reserve a public service easement . To date no evidence has been received from these utilities indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been made. Without such clearance staff would be required to recommend that a public service easement be reserved from any vacation. This issue is the only reason that staff has not brought, at this time, before the Council, for its consideration, a Resolution of Vacation. While it is possible to reserve, from the vacation, a public service easement for the use of the utilities, the extent of (the entire area proposed to be vacated) and restrictions imposed by such reservation do not clear the land sufficiently to allow development as approved. Consideration of the Resolution of Vacation can be scheduled for the earliest Council meeting after appropriate evidence is returned from all utility companies indicating that there is no longer a need to reserve a public service easement. The owner of Parcel 7 (Parcel B of Lot Line Adjustment) has agreed to grant the public an easement for street and highway purposes Page 3 of 5 over portions of its property as necessary to construct an equivalent street facility (cul-de-sac) and provide for all public street and highway uses. The draft Road Deed is attached as Exhibit "C" . This area is further shown as "Proposed Street Dedication" in Exhibit "B" . This Road Deed has been approved by the City Engineer, but has not been executed by the Grantor. This requirement would be a condition of this vacation. The cul-de-sac, as shown in the exhibits, is designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The legal descriptions of both that area proposed to be vacated(to be included in the Resolution of Vacation) and that area to be dedicated(included in the draft Road Deed) are approved by the City Engineer. The concept drawings conditionally approved with the IPD Permit show the roadway terminating with "enriched" pavement, landscape and hardscape elements. The final design approved by the City Engineer does not include these "enriched" elements within the dedicated public right-of-way. The design for the cul-de-sac conforms to current City standards regarding geometry, details and construction materials for cul-de-sacs in Industrial/Commercial zones. The approved design is functionally equal to that which is existing. The entrance turn-around that was shown on the approved concept drawings and the "enriched" pavement, landscape and hardscape elements are being retained in the site design within private property. The relationship of these on-site improvements to the proposed vacation and the approved cul-de-sac design is shown in Exhibit "D" . Access to the site (private property) is from the cul-de-sac (public street) via a modified City standard driveway approach. This modification departs from the City standard in that the sides of the driveway approach transition to street curb through a curve. As the proposed street improvements have not yet been made their construction (and removal of existing improvements) would be included as a condition of this vacation. This was also a condition of the IPD Permit approval. Within the area proposed to be vacated there exist City storm drain facilities . The removal and relocation of these facilities, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer would be included as a condition of this vacation. Page 4 of 5 RECOMMENDATION: 1 . Conduct the Public Hearing regarding intention to vacate a portion of Science Drive, and; If after conducting the Public Hearing and considering the evidence and testimony none is heard to cause the proceedings to be dropped, then continue the Public Hearing, to allow testimony by the affected utilities and others, to a date certain as follows: Date February 16, 1994 Time 7 : 00 P.M. Place Community Center 799 Moorpark Avenue City of Moorpark, California and; 2 . direct staff to prepare and bring before the City Council a Resolution of Vacation, at the earliest possible time after those issues relating to public utilities and the reservation of easements are resolved to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Development and the City Engineer.
