Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing, and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
On January 25, 2022, City Council (Agenda Item 8) approved the 100% Affordable Mixed-Use Project (Project) located at 3941 Stevens Creek Boulevard (Property). The Project consists of 59 apartment units and 2,630 square feet of commercial/office uses on a 0.58-acre site.
DISCUSSION
Due to the redevelopment of the Property, the existing pole line easement, anchor easement, and a portion of the public utility easement encumbering the Property have been relocated or determined to be excess, and these easements are no longer necessary. The owner has requested that the City vacate the subject easements to clear these unnecessary encumbrances on the Property. Any relevant facilities previously within said easements or portions to be vacated have been removed or abandoned. All departments and agencies having an interest in the easements concur that the easements are eligible to be vacated. Staff has reviewed this proposal and found that these easements are no longer necessary for public purposes; and therefore, recommend that they be vacated according to subsection C of California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A resolution approving the Sustainable Communities Project Exemption to exempt the Project from CEQA review was approved by City Council on January 25, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than staff time and expense.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney's Office, Silicon Valley Power, and the Water Department.
