Page 1 of 2 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From:Jason Simpson, City Manager Prepared by:Remon Habib, City Engineer Date:January 28, 2025 Subject:Vacation of a Portion of Frontage Road within Jack in the Box Development Recommendation Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, VACATING A PORTION OF FRONTAGE ROAD. Background Frontage Road was part of the old State Route 74 road alignment. In 2017, by the Relinquishment Agreement between the City of Lake Elsinore and the State of California, the City accepted the title to a portion of State Route 74 lying within the City limits from Dexter Avenue to the easterly city limits. All portions of State Route 74, known as Segment 1 in the City, were relinquished as shown on the map recorded on February 7, 2017, with recording instrument no. 2017-0058299. Commercial Development Resources (CDR) has filed an application requesting the City to vacate this portion of Frontage Road as it impedes the project site development. The vacation of the excess road width will remove encumbrances and allow CDR to improve the property. CDR will construct ultimate half-width street improvements as part of the project’s development off-site improvements. California Street and Highways Code Section 8334(a) provides that the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate excess right-of-way and will not be required for street or highway purposes. This portion of Frontage Road is in excess and may, therefore, be vacated by the City Council. Frontage Road Vacation Page 2 of 2 Discussion Before City Council action, the Planning Commission must determine if the vacation conforms with the adopted General Plan (Government Code Section 65402). The General Plan designates Frontage Road as a local street with a half-width of 30 feet. Currently, the road exceeds a half- width of 30 feet. Staff is, therefore, of the opinion that the vacation of Frontage Road, as set forth herein, conforms with the current General Plan for the City of Lake Elsinore. On December 3, 2024, the Planning Commission found that the vacation would conform with the City’s General Plan. Fiscal Impact No fiscal impact on the City.
