SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO VACATE A PORTLON OF JEFFERSON AVENUE
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
At its October 7, 1980 meeting, the City Council considered a request to vacate a portion
of Jefferson Avenue between Las Flores Avenue and the 1-5 overpass. The Council tabled
the matter until staff could evaluate the possibility of future widening of Jefferson.
The realignment of Jefferson Avenue by CALTRANS in 1969/70 as part of the overpass con-
struction, has created a triangular shaped piece of excess right-of-way on the westerly
side of the street immediately south of the overpass across 1-5.
A request to vacate this excess was made by Buff E Hensman Architects and Associates, one
of the adjacent property owners. SDGEE, Vista Sanitation, Pacific Telephone and Util-
ities and Maintenance have been notified and request reservation of easements. Portions
vacated wi 11 be granted to the adjacent property owners, preserving a1 1 pub1 ic uti 1 i ty
easements.
Staff has investigated Jefferson Avenue from Elm to the 1-5 overpass. Jefferson from Elm
Avenue to Las Flores has a 48-foot paved section, fully improved, in a 60-foot right-of-way.
The 48-foot section could ultimately provide four lanes of traffic with no parking and no
bicycle lane. If this section of Jefferson were to be widened, the following possibilities
exist:
R/W Curb d of Bike
A 76-84 64 4 Yes Yes
B 60-68 48 2 Yes Yes
C 60-68 48 4 No No
E 60-68 48 4 No Yes
A1 ternate Requ i red Sepa rat i on Lanes Pa rk i ng Lanes
D 70- 78 58 4 Yes 14 0
It is very unlikely that Jefferson will ever be widened between Elm and Las Flores. How;
ever, the Council may choose to maintain 84 feet of right-of-way to insure that it would
not have to be purchased should Jefferson ever be upgraded from a collector to a
secondary arterial. Prior to exchange of property, sidewalk shall be installed by owner.
FISCAL IMPACT
1. Maintain 60 feet of right-of-way: Approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of land to be returned
2. Maintain 84 feet of right-of-way: Approximately 4,500 sq. ft. of land to be returned
to tax rolls (approximate value of land - $48,000).
to tax rolls ($38,000).
EXHIBITS
1. Location and Plat Map
2. Resolution No. 6324, declaring the intention to vacate a portion of iefferson Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
