Board vacates two paper segments of Jordan Street to enable future healthcare, housing improvements
Summary
The board unanimously adopted resolutions to vacate the Stalant and Showerman segments of the Jordan Street right‑of‑way, retaining a 20‑foot utility easement for an existing county sewer line and extinguishing a deferred improvement agreement linked to a prior parcel.
The board held a public hearing and approved resolutions to vacate two unimproved (paper) segments of Jordan Street — the Stalant segment and the Showerman segment — subject to conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.
Staff told the board the northern connection is Washington Boulevard and the parcels abut Herald (Harold) Street. The county will retain a 20‑foot utility easement to protect an existing county sewer line that serves adjacent parcels. The Stalant parcel will receive the remaining 25 feet of the vacated right‑of‑way and the Showerman parcel will receive 30 feet, while Showerman would give up 15 feet along Herald Street to help the county improve the overall network. Staff also recommended extinguishing a deferred improvement agreement dating to the mid‑1990s for the Stalant segment.
The board voted unanimously to approve both resolutions. Vote record: Supervisor Starkey — yes; Supervisor Short — yes; Supervisor Howard — yes; Supervisor Wilson — yes; Chair Borges — yes.
Ending: The resolutions include conditions of approval and retain a utility easement; staff will complete the ministerial steps required to record the vacations and easement.
