HomeMy WebLinkAbout07 DECLARE INTENT TO VACATE A PORTION OF AUTO CENTER DRIVE AND SET A PUBLIC HEARINGDocusign Envelope ID: B3042EFF-CF11-4316-B001-541E3B299FA2 MEETING DATE TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY: Agenda Item 7 AGENDA REPORT Reviewed: City Manager QS Finance Director NOVEMBER 4, 2025 ALDO E. SCHINDLER, CITY MANAGER MICHAEL GRISSO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DECLARE INTENT TO VACATE A PORTION OF AUTO CENTER DRIVE AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING California Streets and Highways Code Section 8312 authorizes the City Council to vacate all or a portion of a street within the City when it is no longer necessary for current or prospective public street purposes, either on its own initiative or upon request of an interested party. A request was received from the owners of Tustin Lexus and Tustin Cadillac to vacate a 12-foot wide strip of right-of-way around the perimeter of the Auto Center Drive cul-de-sac adjacent to their properties, reducing the curb radius to 40 feet. Pursuant to procedures outlined in Sections 8320-8325 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City Council must first adopt a resolution declaring its intent to vacate and set a public hearing. Resolution No. 25-21 includes the legal description and associated map of the area to be vacated. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-21 declaring its intent to vacate a portion of Auto Center Drive and set a public hearing for December 2, 2025. FISCAL IMPACT: The City obtained an appraisal determining the fair market value of Parcel A and Parcel B, depicted in Resolution No. 25-21 to be $14,000 and $30,000, respectively. If the proposed street vacation is approved and executed, the adjacent property owners have agreed to pay fair market value at the above noted prices with proceeds deposited to the General Fund. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: The vacation of a portion of Auto Center Drive contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal A: Economic and Neighborhood Development by supporting the implementation of Strategy 5, which is to strengthen and facilitate business relationships for economic development purposes. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Docusign Envelope ID: B3042EFF-CF11-4316-B001-541E3B299FA2 City Council Agenda Report Intent to Vacate a Portion of Auto Center Drive November 4, 2025 Page 2 Auto Center Drive is a public street within the Tustin Auto Center, terminating in a cul-de- sac at the southeasternmost corner of the Center and adjacent to the Tustin Lexus and Tustin Cadillac properties. The existing street right-of-way was dedicated to the City under Tract Map No. 13834. California Streets & Highways Code (SHC) Section 8312 authorizes the City Council to vacate all or a portion of a public street within the City when it is no longer necessary for current or prospective public street purposes pursuant to procedures outlined in SHC Sections 8320-8325. Proceedings may be initiated by the legislative body on its own or upon a petition or request of an interested party. On November 5, 2024, Sagecrest Planning + Environmental submitted a letter on behalf of Tustin Lexus and Tustin Cadillac (Attachment 2), requesting the City vacate a 12-foot wide strip around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac, reducing the right-of-way radius from 57 feet to 45 feet and the curb radius from 52 feet to 40 feet, with the curb & gutter, sidewalk, and utility relocation improvements to be constructed by the applicant. Consistent with Resolution No. 25-21, the vacated land would be conveyed to the adjacent property owners and absorbed back into their respective properties via a subsequent lot line adjustment process. Potential impacts to the daily activities of delivery trucks were evaluated by means of a traffic cone study (Attachment 3). The study demonstrated the proposed modifications would not impact daily activities, as witnessed by Auto Center management personnel and confirmed by the Tustin Auto Center Merchant's Association in the letter dated November 17, 2021 (Attachment 4).

SHC Section 8340 also requires the City to reserve easements for existing utilities. The resolution vacating the right-of-way will reserve easements to the City of Tustin for storm drain purposes and to Irvine Ranch Water District for sewer and water purposes. No other utilities are impacted. The vacation is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities). The project involves minor modifications to an existing cul-de-sac in the public right-of-way that does not impact the operation of the street for commercial traffic to adjacent businesses along Auto Center Drive. The addition of the vacated land to the properties at 45 and 50 Auto Center Drive will result in a negligible expansion of the existing automotive sales and service uses, as no physical improvements are proposed on private property. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be recorded with the Orange County Recorder's Office. On October 14, 2025, the Planning Commission supported a determination that the street vacation is consistent with the General Plan, pursuant to Government Code Section 65402. Prior to adopting a resolution to vacate a portion of the street, the City Council is required to set a public hearing providing at least 15 days' notice. The attached resolution sets the public hearing for December 2, 2025, the City Clerk will publish notice of the public hearing, and the notice will be posted at three locations within the portion of the street to be vacated. It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-21 declaring its intent to vacate a portion of Auto Center Drive and set a public hearing for December 2, 2025. v%-,l ,. c Michael Grisso Director of Public Works Attachments: 1.

The Project Site is adjacent to an existing automotive sales and service business owned by Tustin Lexus, located at 45 Auto Center Drive, Tustin, CA. On November 16, 2021, a traffic cone study was performed by Jones, Cahl & Associates, Inc. to evaluate the daily activities of the various delivery trucks with the proposed modification to the cul-de-sac. The study demonstrated that the proposed modifications would not impact the daily activity of the delivery trucks. It is requested that the vacated land be assigned a General Plan land use designation of Planned Community Commercial/Business (PCCB) and a Planned Community Commercial (PC COM) zoning designation consistent with the existing zoning of the Tustin Lexus property. Street improvements include construction of a new curb and sidewalk and relocation of an existing fire hydrant adjacent to the new curb. Existing utility easements for Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) and the City of Tustin are requested to be amended to retain access to existing in -ground utilities. No site improvements are proposed on private property as part of this project. The vacated land shall be used as part of the existing automotive sales and service use at 45 Auto Center Drive.
