Alley vacation at approximately 373 West American Avenue (follow-up)
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.
