The Public Works Committee recommended approval for the vacation of a portion of Bellanca Avenue, specifically from Arbor Vitae Street to its southerly terminus. This street vacation is sought to provide additional area for the Crenshaw LAX Division 16 – Southwest Maintenance Yard Facility, which is part of the Metro Transit Corridor project. The City Engineer reported that the petitioner paid a fee of $32,100 for the investigation. The vacation is deemed to provide a public benefit by relieving the City of maintenance obligations and potential liabilities associated with continued ownership of the street easements. The committee found the vacation to be in substantial conformance with the General Plan and not necessary for non-motorized transportation facilities or present/prospective public use. The recommendations, including various environmental findings and conditions, are now submitted to the City Council for their final consideration.
