§ 19.890.010 — Purpose

19.890.010 - Purpose.

A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures for vacating unneeded rights-of-way for streets, alleys and pedestrians walkways. Two types of vacations are hereby established: standard vacations and summary vacations. B. Summary vacations may occur when: (1) the street has been superseded by relocation, unless such vacation would either cut off all access to a person's property that, prior to relocation adjoined the street, or terminate a public street; (2) the street has been expended for impassable for vehicular travel for five years and no public money has been expended for maintenance during such period; (3) excess right-of-way is no longer needed for street purposes; or (4) a portion of a street lies within property under one ownership and does not continue through such ownership or end touching the property of another. Summary vacations are not available if there are in-place utility facilities that are in use that would be affected by the said vacation. C. Any vacation not considered summary vacation shall be deemed a standard vacation.
