PHONE: 619-336-4313 APPROVED BY: EXPLANATION: The proposed street vacation is in conjunction with a pending shopping center development, and involves vacating portions of D Avenue south of 31st St. and E. 32nd St. east side of D Avenue. The Council originally initiated this street vacation in November of 2010. The item was extended multiple times due to ongoing negotiations. The most recent extension expired on August 16, 2011. The applicant has stated that the project is close to continuing; however, additional work is needed to prepare an updated plan based on recent Code and zoning changes. The main application has been continued by the Planning Commission to their October 3, 2011 meeting. The City's Street Vacation Procedures require that once the City Council has initiated a street vacation, the Planning Commission must find the request in conformance with the General Plan within 40 days, or a longer period of Council's choosing. Although the applicant is close to moving forward, the exact date is unknown, therefore it is suggested that Council initiate the vacation for two months, more than the normal 40 days, in order to allow adequate time for changes to be made and the application to move forward.
