Alley vacations next to 373 and 389 West American Avenue
Approved · 6-0
The Council adopted Ordinance 61 of 2025, vacating a city-owned alley next to properties at 373 and 389 West American Avenue. The petitioner owns three of the four adjacent properties and could redevelop the site; the other owner proposed buying the segment next to their property for private use. The alley cannot serve as a mid-block connection because the 900 South viaduct lies directly south. The minutes list two ordinances; the motion adopted Ordinance 61.

Discussed
Planners presented a proposal to vacate a city-owned alley next to four properties, three owned by the petitioner, to allow redevelopment; the other adjacent owner supports it, and the alley cannot serve as a mid-block connection because the 900 South viaduct lies to the south. The Planning Commission gave conditional approval. Discussion covered the alley's role in a future Orange Line connection and activating a pedestrian corridor. Council Member Mano asked the applicant and planners to draft development agreement language, and Planning Director Nick Norris said the agreement could require activation measures before the vacation is approved.
