This street is a dead-end street which serves only properties owned by Industrial Development, LLC, so there is no public need for this Right-of-Way. Staff conducted a survey of utility companies, and one response was received which indicated that easement access would be required for infrastructure in the street. No survey of property owners was conducted as all of the adjoining properties belong to Industrial Development, LLC. Council set a public hearing date on April 20th, 2026 to consider the request RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission make a recommendation to the City Council to approve the request to vacate the subject street. ATTACHMENTS: Location Map BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: Minimal direct costs are associated with the vacation of public ROW, and no direct income is associated with this request as the property will be utilized for a land swap.
