TRANSMITTAL: Application dated June 9, 2006, from Mike Scinto of the Los Angeles Unified School District. DISCUSSION: Request: The petitioner, Mike Scinto of the Los Angeles Unified School District, owner or proposed owner of the properties shown outlined in yellow on Exhibit "A", is requesting the vacation of the public street area shown colored blue. The purpose of the vacation request is to consolidate the vacation area with the adjoining properties for the construction of the Los Angeles Unified School District Manual Arts New Elementary School #3. This vacation procedure is being processed under procedures established by Council File No adopted by the Los Angeles City Council on March 5, Resolution to Vacate: The Resolution to Vaca1:e will be recorded upon compliance with the conditions established for this vacation. Previous Council Action: The City Council on June 30, 2006, under Council File No adopted a Rule 16 Motion initiating street vacation proceedings. The City Council on March 24, 2004 conditionally adopted the City Engineer's report dated January 8, 2004 under Council File No The vacation conditions were not complied with prior to the expiration of the vacation approval. Description of Area to be Vacated: The area sought to be vacated is 31st Street northerly of Jefferson Boulevard from Catalina Street to 250 feet easterly thereof. Adjoining Streets: Jefferson Boulevard is a secondary highway dedicated 86 feet and variable width with a 52-foot wide roadway, and with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides. Catalina Street is a local street dedicated 60 feet with a 40-foot wide roadway, and with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides. 30th Place is a local street dedicated 50 feet with a 34-foot wide roadway, and with curb, gutter and sidewalk 0n both sides. 31st Street is a local street dedicated variable width with a 40-foot wide roadway.

37 Public Works Committee -6- C.D. No. 8 Effects of Vacation on Circulation and Access: By vacating the subject area, access to Catalina Street from 31st street will no longer be possible. However, the vacation of this area is essential to the development of the proposed elementary school. This school would alleviate pressure from the two neighboring schools, which are currently experiencing overcrowding. 31st Street in this area only extends for one-block length between Vermont Avenue and Catalina Street so the vacation would not have an impact on circulation. The properties on the remaining portion of 31st Street appear to have access from 30th Place, Vermont Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard away from the vacation area. Objections to the Vacation: There were no objections to the vacation submitted for this project. Zoning and Land Use: The properties adjoining the proposed vacation area to the north and to the south are both zoned R2-1-0 and are developed with residential dwellings or vacant lots. The following land use types characterize the general land use of the area: Single Family Residential; Multiple Family Residential; Commercial and Private Institutional. The site is comprised of several zoning designations consisting of R2, R3 and C2. Reversionarv Interest: No determination of the underlying fee interest of the vacation area has been made as to title or reversionary interest. Dedications and Improvements: It will be necessary that the petitioner provides for the dedications and improvements as outlined under Conditions. Sewers and Storm Drains: There are no existing storm drain facilities within the area proposed to be vacated. There are however, existing sewer facilities within this area. Public Utilities: The Department of Water and Power and the Southern California Gas Company maintain facilities in the area proposed to be vacated. Tract Map: Since the required dedications can be acquired by separate instruments and the necessary improvements can be constructed under separate permit processes, the requirement for the recordation of a new tract map could be waived.

38 Public Works Committee -7- C.D. No. 8 City Department of Transportation: The Department of Transportation states that based on traffic considerations, the vacation is not opposed if a suitable turnaround is provided at the westerly terminus of the unvacated portion of 31st Street. The turnaround must be constructed satisfactory to the Department of Transportation Bureau of Engineering. In addition, that through the requirements of a tract map or by other means, provisions are made for (1) lot consolidation, (2) driveway and access approval by the Department of Transportation, (3) any additional dedications and improvements necessary to bring all adjacent streets into conformance with the City's Standard Street Dimensions. City Fire Department: The Fire Department stated in a letter dated August 15, 2003 that the applicant is to submit plot plans for Fire Department approval and review prior to final approval of the street vacation action. The applicant is to provide an approved turnaround at the westerly terminus of 31 t Street at the sole expense of the applicant. Any new structures within the proposed project area shall be provided with Fire Department access to within 150 feet of such structures from a public street or approved fire lane not less than 20 feet in width at the sole expense of the applicant. Any structures within the project area shall be within 300 feet of a public or approved private fire hydrant. Any required improvements are to be made at the sole expense of the applicant. Any necessary removal or relocation of public utilities shall be at the sole expense of the applicant. Department of City Planning: The Planning Department did not respond to the Bureau of Engineering's referral letter dated February 10, Conclusion: The vacation of the public street area as shown colored blue on the attached Exhibit "A" could be conditionally approved based upon the following: 1. It is unnecessary for present or prospective public use. 2. It is not needed for vehicular circulation or access.

TRANSMITTAL: Application dated January 13, 2003, from Mike Scinto of the Los Angeles Unified School District. DISCUSSION: Request: The petitioner, the Los Angeles Unified School District, owner or proposed owner of the properties shown outlined in yellow on Exhibit "B", is requesting the vacation of the public street area shown colored blue. The purpose of the vacation request is to consolidate the vacation area with the adjoining properties for the construction of the Los Angeles Unified School District Manuel Arts New Elementary School #3. This vacation procedure is being processed under procedures established by Council File No adopted by the Los Angeles City Council on March 5, Resolution to Vacate: The Resolution to Vacate will be recorded upon compliance with the conditions established for this vacation. Previous Council Action: The City Council on February 28, 2003, under Council File No adopted a Rule 16 Motion initiating street vacation proceedings. Description of Area to be Vacated: The area sought to be vacated is 31st Street northerly of Jefferson Boulevard from Catalina Street to 250 feet easterly thereof. Adjoining Streets: Jefferson Boulevard is a secondary highway dedicated 86 feet and variable width with a 52-foot wide roadway,

55 Public Works Committee -6- C.D. No. 8 and with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides. Catalina Street is a local street dedicated 60 feet with a 40-foot wide roadway, and with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides. 30th Place is a local street dedicated 50 feet with a 34-foot wide roadway, and with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides. 31st Street is a local street dedicated variable width with a 40-foot wide roadway. Effects of Vacation on Circulation and Access: By vacating the subject area, access to Catalina Street from 31st street will no longer be possible. However, the vacation of this area is essential to the development of the proposed elementary school. This school would alleviate pressure from the two neighboring schools, which are currently experiencing overcrowding. 31st Street in this area only extends for one-block length between Vermont Avenue and Catalina Street so the vacation would not have an impact on circulation. The properties on the remaining portion of 31st Street appear to have access from 30th Place, Vermont Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard away from the vacation area. Objections to the Vacation: There were no objections to the vacation submitted for this project. Zoning and Land Use: The properties adjoining the proposed vacation area to the north and to the south are both zoned R2-1-0 and are developed with residential dwellings or vacant lots. The following land use types characterize the general land use of the area: Single Family Residential; Multiple Family Residential; Commercial and Private Institutional. The site is comprised of several zoning designations consisting of R2, R3 and C2. Reversionary Interest: No determinations of the underlying fee interest of the vacation area has been made as to title or reversionary interest. Dedications and Imorovements: It will be necessary that the petitioner provide for the dedications and improvements as outlined under Conditions. Sewers and Storm Drains: There are no existing storm drain facilities within the areas proposed to be vacated. There are however, existing sewer facilities within this area. Public Utilities: The Department of Water and Power and the Southern California Gas Company maintain facilities in the area proposed to be vacated. Tract Map: Since the required dedications can be acquired by separate instruments and the necessary improvements can be
