RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/331 to summarily vacate a portion of John Glenn Drive, a county road (County Road No. 41778), identified as Parcel Two in Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 324, recorded September 21, 1961, in Book 3957, Page 581, in the Official Records of Contra Costa County, pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code, Section 8334(b), Pacheco area. Project No.: 4841-6X5319 CP#19-45.


DETERMINE that the proposed vacation will not have a significant effect on the environment, and is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302 (b) of the CEQA Guidelines and Notice of Exemption was posted December 5, 2019.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division to record a certified copy of the Board Order and Resolution in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Airport Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND:

John Glenn Drive is comprised of two parcels as shown in Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 324, recorded September 21, 1961, in Book 3957, Page 581, in the Official Records of Contra Costa County (“Resolution”), a copy of which is attached. This resolution of vacation concerns only Parcel Two, as described in the resolution, which is the portion of John Glenn Drive that surrounds a parking lot at the Buchanan Airport.

The Airports Division of the Public Works Department is in the process of completing the design and construction plans for a new terminal in the location identified as a “Future Terminal Site” on the resolution, located adjacent to and westerly of Parcel Two. The easterly edge of the new terminal will abut Parcel Two and a planned entry covering will extend out over what is currently county road right-of-way. Further, construction of the new terminal will require substantial pavement and striping work on the street to allow for safe access to the area.

This portion of John Glenn Drive serves only the new airport terminal building and the adjacent parking area. Parcel Two is located on property owned by Contra Costa County, and it does not continue through such ownership or end touching property of another. Therefore, this section of county road right of way can be summarily vacated pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 8334(b), which allows for the vacation of a portion of roadway that lies within property under one ownership and that does not continue through such ownership or end touching property of another.

Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution to summarily vacate this segment of John Glenn Drive to allow for the construction of the new airport terminal.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The new airport terminal could not be constructed as designed and planned.
