UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE Per UDC Table 11-5A-2, vacation of ROW requires approval from City Council at a public meeting. IV. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant owns the parcels adjacent to the ROW proposed to be vacated and wishes to develop the area with commercial uses. As-is the location of the road interferes with the development plan. With development of the area, the access driveway/street is proposed to be relocated approximately 50-feet to the west (see Section VI.B). A legal description and exhibit map of the ROW proposed to be vacated is included in Section VI.A. STAFF REPORT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 12/13/21 H-2021-0079 Page 2 A relinquishment letter was received from Idaho Power stating they have no facilities in the area proposed to be vacated. The Public Work’s Dept. verified there are no water or sewer mains located in the area proposed to be vacated; therefore, the proposed vacation will not impact City utilities. Note: The ACHD Commission approved the request to vacate a parcel of land being a portion of S. Johnson Ln. (Resolution No. 2369) and release of an existing 30-foot wide public ROW easement (Inst. 108123386) on November 10, 2021. V. DECISION A.
