City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: May 6, 2020
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Teri Ledoux, City Manager
By:Kris Jensen, Director of Public Works
Subject: Authorization to Proceed with Street Vacation of Portions of
4TH Street
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize staff to proceed with an investigation and analysis for the proposed
street vacation of portions of 4th Street.
Background
Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8312, gives a city legislative body the power
to vacate all or part of a street and sets forth the procedures by which the power to
vacate may be executed. The requested street vacation would be conducted under the
General Vacation Procedures outlined in SHC sections 8320 through 8325. First, a
legislative body may initiate proceedings either on its own initiative or upon a petition or
request of an interested person or persons. The initiation of proceedings starts with
fixing the date, hour and place of the hearing, followed by publishing and posting of
notices prior to the hearing. After the hearing, if the legislative body finds that the street
described in the notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective
public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street. The street
vacation is then recorded with the County Recorder’s office.
As part of the Mt. Vernon Bridge Replacement P roject, both the San Bernardino County
Transportation Authority and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway have requested the
City initiate the vacation of 4th Street between the intersections of Cabrera Avenue and
Mt. Vernon Avenue to assist with the comple tion of the Project and, in connection
therewith, to facilitate the expansion of their maintenance yard and operation.
Discussion
If authorization is given to proceed, an investigation and analysis will begin and all City
Departments, County Fire, utilities, and affected property owners will be notified of the
proposal and will be provided an opportunity to comment on any conflicts and/or
potential issues or concerns.
Future actions by the City will consist of:

impacted.

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize staff to proceed with an investigation and analysis for the proposed
