Special Considerations
1. Process: The Subdivision and Development Ordinance (Title 12), Chapter 10, requires
the Planning & Zoning Commission to review and make a recommendation on Vacation
applications. A public hearing is then required before the City Council.
State statute requires an easement vacation be filed when an irrigation easement is
involved.

whether or not the right-of-way contains any utilities. Staff does not anticipate that any
utilities are located within the right-of-way because it is unopened and has never been
developed for public access. See Condition below.
