FROM:
WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO VACATE AND ABANDON A PORTION OF
SAN JUAN STREET BETWEEN ORANGE STREET AND CHARLOMA DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a resolution of intention to vacate a
portion of San Juan street between Orange Street and Charloma Drive and
set the public hearing for October 17, 1988.
BACKGROUND:
Caltrans is negotiating with the Tustin Unified School District to
acquire land for the relocation of E1 Camino Real farther into the
Tustin High School site. This is required because of the proposed
widening of the I-5 Freeway. The school site would lose about three
acres of land which would reduce the school site to approximately 24
cres. School officials countered Caltrans' proposalwith a suggestion
~hat the possibility of closing a portion of San Juan Street be pursued.
This would allow the high.school site to be"physicallY joined with the
Lambert School site which is about 10 acres in size.
Caltrans provided the City with funds for preparation of a San Juan
Street closure traffic analysis which was prepared by the consulting
firm of Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. The traffic study shows the
impacts of the closure and will be a part of the negative declaration to
be prepared for this proposal. Details of this study have been provided
to City Council in previous staff reports.
Caltrans and the School District have requested that proceedings be
initiated for the street vacation. The Planning Commission at their
meeting of September 12, 1988 adopted a resolution finding that the
proposed vacation is in conformance with the adopted General Plan. This
finding was based on San Juan Street being classified as a local street
and not part of the circulation element of the General Plan.
ANALYSIS:
The resolution of intention sets the public hearing on the matter for
October 17. Notice of the hearing will be published and posted along
the street in conformance with legal requirements. In addition, staff
intends to mail notices to residents in a rather large area so that
persons affected by the proposal will be aware of it.
. summary of the traffic report and staff recommendations for
cul-de-sacs at the ends of San Juan Street will be provided for the
October 17th hearing. The traffic consultant who prepared the traffic
report will also be requested to attend the hearing.

The City Council can attach certain conditions to the vacation, if they
decide to approve it, and the City Attorney will'be able to advise in
this area. Staff has included in the resolution of intention a clause
reserving the entire street width for public utility purposes. This
will protect the rights of all entities with utility lines in this
section of San Juan Street.
