BACKGROUND: In November, 2003, this office received a request for the vacation of a portion of Hazel Street, between "H" Street and the 1-215 freeway. The request was submitted by two petitioners, James Ballard, owner of A VIS Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning, Inc., located at 730 South "H" Street, and Bill Jacobson, owner of the property located at 740 South "H" Street, which is currently leased to Inland Computer Systems. The petitioners are requesting that the portion of Hazel Street between the two properties be vacated, in order to reduce the amount of vandalism, public dumping, blight, and unlawful activities, which have been a constant problem in this area. The petitioners have requested this vacation to assist in the elimination of these problems, which directly impact both parcels. The property owners are requesting a waiver of fees due to the excessive amount of loss to both properties as a result of these public nuisances. Since this is not a City-initiated vacation and there is no precedence for waiving fees for this type of action, staff is recommending that the request for a waiver of fees be denied. If authorization to proceed is given, all affected City departments, utilities and property owners will be contacted for comments or any possible conflicts. Part of the proceedings will include the determination of the future necessity of this portion of Hazel Street for public right of way purposes. FINANCIAL IMP ACT: None. Applicant has paid the first half of the processing fees and will pay the remainder prior to the legal proceedings, if request for waiver of fees is denied. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that authorization to proceed with the proposed vacation be given, that Plan No. 10907 be approved, and waiver offees be denied. . , 7 t; "\ @ 15 ( .D I I I . : I 'I . r.'\.1 .; \!I \) I I I 7.
