The City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department conditionally approved the abandonment of an eight-foot wide portion of right-of-way, totaling 2,270 square feet, immediately adjacent to the property at 1562 E. Peoria Avenue. The request by Vet Venture, LLC is to allow for the construction of fencing around the property due to safety concerns. The right-of-way was originally dedicated on July 18, 1947, as part of the Harmony Acres subdivision plat. Several stipulations are attached to the conditional approval, including requirements regarding utility relocation or retention of public utility easements, and the submission of a legal description of the abandonment area for City Council approval. No right-of-way within 25-feet of the 15th Way monument line or Peoria Avenue monument line shall be abandoned. All stipulations must be completed within two years of the Abandonment Hearing Officer's decision, with an expiration date of July 11, 2026.
