Street or Easement Abandonments are a request for the City to give up or abandon property rights to a particular portion of public property.
For example, a property owner may request abandonment of a portion of street frontage adjoining their property that was never developed or that is no longer needed due to altered circulation patterns. The property then reverts back to the ownership of the parcel from which it originally was offered, or it may be divided equally between the two adjacent properties.
The Street or Easement Abandonment may be approved by the City Council only when the following findings can be made:
