Title
Resolution Ordering the Summary Vacation of a Portion of Monroe Street at 1313 Franklin Street and Consideration of a Final Map for Tract No. 10310
Report
BACKGROUND
The Downtown Gateway project located at 1313 Franklin Street consists of 44 residential condominium units and 7 retail condominium units. A Final Map for Tract No. 10310 is required to be filed by the property owner (1313 Franklin, LLC) as part of the project. On May 29, 1979, a portion of the current Monroe Street right-of-way was dedicated to the City by a parcel map for the then required Monroe Street Plan Line width, which is wider than the current street dimensions. However, on February 9, 1993, Council deleted the Monroe Street Plan Line within the subject area so a portion of the additional right-of-way acquired in 1979 is no longer necessary.
DISCUSSION
As shown on the Tentative Map for Tract No. 10310 at 1313 Franklin Street, approved by Council on January 13, 2015, a portion of the Monroe Street Plan Line dedication in front of the project is to be vacated. Due to the redevelopment of the property, the property owner now requests that the City vacate this portion of right-of-way on Monroe Street. Staff reviewed the request and recommends summary vacation of the public right-of-way.
The Final Map for Tract No. 10310 combines three parcels into one condominium lot. The condominium lot will be further subdivided into 44 residential condominium units and 7 retail condominium units. Staff has reviewed the Final Map and confirmed it meets the Tentative Map requirements. The Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) have been reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and the City Attorney's Office.
