City Council

7. DECLARE INTENT TO VACATE A PORTION OF AUTO CENTER DRIVE AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING California Streets and Highways Code Section 8312 authorizes the City Council to vacate all or a portion of a street within the City when it is no longer necessary for current or prospective public street purposes, either on its own initiative or upon request of an interested party. A request was received from the owners of Tustin Lexus and Tustin Cadillac to vacate a 12-foot wide strip of right-ofway around the perimeter of the Auto Center Drive cul-de-sac adjacent to their properties, reducing the curb radius to 40 feet. Pursuant to procedures outlined in Sections 8320-8325 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City Council must first adopt a resolution declaring its intent to vacate and set a public hearing. Resolution No. 25-21 includes the legal description and associated map of the area to be vacated. Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-21 declaring its intent to vacate a portion of Auto Center Drive and set a public hearing for December 2, 2025. Fiscal Impact: The City obtained an appraisal determining the fair market value of Parcel A and Parcel B, depicted in Resolution No. 25-21 to be $14,000 and $30,000, respectively. If the proposed street vacation is approved and executed, the adjacent property owners have agreed to pay fair market value at the above noted prices with proceeds deposited to the General Fund.
