13.20.010 Findings.

The city council finds and declares as follows: A. Streets and Highways Code Section 8311 provides that the authority and procedures set forth for the abandonment of public service easements in the Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law (Streets and Highways Code Sections 8300 et seq.), are alternative to other authorities and procedures that are provided by law. B. One such alternative authority is provided by Government Code Sections 66434(g) and 66445(d), which establish alternative procedures for the abandonment of public streets and easements on final subdivision maps and parcel maps. C. Additional alternative procedures should be established for relinquishing the city's public service easements that are not being used and are not needed for future use. (Ord. 2000-017 § 2(l); Ord. 2000-013 § 1; prior code § 12.09.140)
