City Council

10. VACATION OF A PORTION OF AUTO CENTER DRIVE California Streets and Highways Code 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-of- way around the perimeter of the Auto Center Drive cul-de-sac adjacent to their properties, reducing the curb radius to 40 feet.

Additionally, pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, the City Council must make findings and adopt a resolution declaring property to be conveyed as exempt surplus land. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Conduct the Public Hearing to vacate a portion of Auto Center Drive; and 2.
