RESOLUTION NO. 2026-013
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE ORDERING THE VACATION OF A SEWER
EASEMENT ON JAMES WAY
WHEREAS, Chapter 4 of the Public Streets, Highways and Services Easements
Vacation Law, commencing with Streets and Highways Code Section 8330, provides
for vacation of streets and public service easements; and
WHEREAS, the subject sewer easement (the “Easement”) to be vacated is a ten-foot
wide (10’) easement shown on Parcel D of Lot 5 of Tract No. 604 of Parcel Map No.
79-838 in 1982, described in Exhibit “A” and depicted in Exhibit “B”, a copy of which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
WHEREAS, Section 8333, subdivision (c), of the Streets and Highways Code
authorizes the City Council to vacate a public service easement when it has been
determined to be excess by the easement holder, and there are no other public facilities
within the easement; and
WHEREAS, the sewer easement is excess, not needed for public utility purposes, and
there are no utilities or public improvements located within the easement to be vacated;
and
WHEREAS, all other prerequisites required by the Streets and Highways Code have
been met, including that from the date this resolution is recorded, the vacated sewer
easement no longer constitutes a street, highway, or public service easement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande does hereby resolve
as follows:
1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
reference.
2. Vacation of Easement. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to the summary vacation
procedures set forth in California Streets and Highways Code section 8330 et seq., as
the Easement to be vacated is excess, not required for public utility purposes, and there
are not public facilities located within the Easement area. The City Council hereby
orders the vacation of the Easement and any and all interests that the City may have
therein. From and after the date the Resolution is recorded, the Easement no longer
constitutes a public service easement.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-013

3.Environmental Review. The City Council hereby determines that the summary
vacation of the easement is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either direct, or reasonably
foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§
15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.) Alternatively, the vacation of the easement is exempt
from CEQA on the basis that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (State
CEQA Guidelines, § 15061, subd. (b)(3).)
4.Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect upon adoption.
5.Recordation. The City Clerk shall cause a certified copy of this Resolution of vacation,
attested by the City Clerk under seal, to be recorded without acknowledgement,
certificate of acknowledgement, or further proof in the Office of the San Luis Obispo
County Clerk-Recorder. Pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section
8336, no fee shall be charged for recordation.

following roll call vote, to wit:
AYES: Council Members Guthrie, Secrest, Loe, Maraviglia, and Mayor Ray Russom
