BACKGROUND:
At the request of the property owner, Public Works staff has reviewed a request to vacate excess right-of-way at 405 East 19th Street (Attachment 1).
Previous City and County Master Plans of Highways designated East 19th Street as a 4-lane highway; however, the Master Plan designation of the street was downgraded to a 2-lane collector street. As a result, the previously dedicated right-of-way required to construct a 4-lane highway is no longer required. Presently, East 19th Street has been constructed to fulfill the current Master Plan and Streets and Highways capacity requirements.
ANALYSIS:
In accordance with the prior Master Plan in 1972, 20.00-by-59.40-foot of right-of-way along East 19th Street was dedicated by Tract Map 7722, as shown and filed in Book 299, Pages 20 and 21. East 19th Street at this location was not improved to the full dedication width, and was subsequently downgraded to a collector street, creating excess right-of-way.
Currently, there are no utilities within this portion of the public right-of-way and therefore, a reservation for a utility easement is not required. The Engineering and Transportation Services Divisions, as well as the Active Transportation Committee (ATC) have reviewed the excess right-of-way. It was determined that East 19th Street is classified as a Class III bicycle facility, and consequently additional right-of-way is not required for any motorist and/or non-motorist usage....
