SUMMARY At its regular meeting held on Apri125, 2012, the Public Works Committee considered the recommendations of the City Engineer as contained in its February 16, 2012 report. The City Engineer reports that the area sought to be rejected as the future street as public street is a portion of Norris Avenue between Paddock Street and Astoria Street (a map of the area is included as Exhibit A in the February 16, 2012 City Engineer report and is attached to the Council file). The petitioners, Relyt Developers LLC, is requesting the City to reject the 27 -foot wide future street. The petitioners stated this easement is no longer needed by the city and to allow development consistent with existing entitlements. The future street easement was offered for dedication by that certain "Irrevocable Offer to Dedicate" recorded as Document No. 2840, in Book D4895, page 69, of Official Records, in the Office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County. "This Irrevocable Offer to Dedicate" document includes a provision that if the offer is rejected by the City Council, the Real Estate Group of the Bureau of Engineering shall issue a release from such offer which shall be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County.
The petitioner's request can be granted since the area is being developed in a "RD" Restricted Density Multiple Dwelling Zone instead of single family zone. After having provided an opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend approval of the recommendations as contained in said City Engineer report and detailed above in Recommendation Nos. 1-4. This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.
