AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution of Intent to Vacate the 0 Block of East Vine Street Between
Union Pacific Railroad and Sacramento Street, Refer to the Planning
Commission, and Set a Public Hearing for April 15, 2015
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution of intent to vacate the 0 block of East Vine
Street between Union Pacific Railroad and Sacramento Street,
refer to the Planning Commission, and set a public hearing for
April 15, 2015.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed vacation is jointly requested by the property owner
of Lodi Iron Works located at 860 South Sacramento Street
(APN 045-250-06) and the property owner at
900 South Sacramento Street (APN 045-250-27). In accordance with the provisions of Section 8300
et seq. of the Streets and Highways Code, a legislative body of a local agency may initiate a
proceeding to vacate public right-of-way upon request of an interested person(s). Both properties lie
adjacent to the 0 block of East Vine Street between Sacramento Street and the Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR) right-of-way as shown in Exhibit A.
Both owners requested this portion of Vine Street be vacated in order to enhance business operations
and to improve security in an effort to reduce frequent theft and vandalism. Additionally, the fence
along the UPRR right-of-way is frequently vandalized allowing pedestrians to cross the tracks at this
location. With the installation of an additional fence adjacent to Sacramento Street, pedestrian
crossings of the tracks will be further impeded.
A public utility easement will be retained for water, sanitary, and industrial wastewater mains, valves,
and manholes. City personnel will have full access for routine and emergency repairs, maintenance
and inspections of public infrastructure. There will be no permanent storage or other above -ground
structures or facilities allowed within the easement area. All agencies and departments have been
notified of the intent to vacate, and all concerns have been met. Vacating this portion of Vine Street
will have no impact on vehicular or pedestrian circulation on Stockton Street or the remainder of
Vine Street.
An appraisal (based on the per -square -foot value of Walnut Street between Church Street and
Pleasant Avenue recently vacated to St. Anne's Church) was used to determine the fair market value
of the proposed vacation of $13,438.71. Because the additional fencing will deter pedestrians from
crossing the UPRR tracks at this location, the City is subtracting the fence installation cost of
$4,262.00 from the appraised value. From this point forward, the fence will be privately owned and
maintained by the adjoining property owners. The amount to be paid to the City for the vacated street
right-of-way is $9,176.71 ($13,438.71 - $4,262.00).
