RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/242 to summarily vacate excess Old Dougherty Road right of way not required for street or highway purposes, subject to reservations of easements for trails and public utilities over a portion of said right of way, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code sections 8334(a) and 8340.

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Old Dougherty Road, identified as Road No. 5701 (Rancho San Ramon), has been superseded by relocation and the road has been closed off to the public. The City of San Ramon will require an easement in, upon, over, and across old Dougherty Road right of way to construct, maintain, operate, replace, remove, and renew trails for use by the public. For these reasons, Public Works Department staff recommend that the Board of Supervisors vacate old Dougherty Road, and reserve an easement for trail and public utilities purposes, as described in the attached resolution of vacation.

For the purposes of CEQA, Phase IV (Gale Ranch) was acknowledged as the Final Entitlement contemplated in the Dougherty Valley 1992 EIR and the 1996 (Subsequent EIR) SEIR. The County’s Planning Commission adopted the Addendum to the 1996 SEIR on January 25, 2005, along with the Vesting Tentative Map SD04-8856 and Final Development Plan DP04-3070.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County may be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of this excess right of way.
