Council approves street vacation, tentative subdivision map, apartment rehab RFPs and police policy updates (3‑0)
Summary
By unanimous 3‑0 votes the council approved a right‑of‑way vacation for 0 Street (1st–2nd), adopted a tentative map for the Monterey Park subdivision (increasing units from 598 to 609 and overruling an ALUC finding), authorized RFPs for rehabilitation of 6th Street Imperial apartments using PLHA funds, and accepted 22 Lexipol police‑policy updates.
At its regular meeting, the Imperial City Council approved several land‑use and administrative items by unanimous voice votes (3‑0).
Right‑of‑way vacation (C1): Planner Yvonne presented a staff recommendation to vacate a portion of 0 Street between 1st and 2nd Streets at the request of Raul Parra (Imperial Trust & Lumber) to support business expansion. Council closed the public hearing and approved the resolution (staff referenced prior Planning Commission review and adoption of PC resolution confirming conformance with the general plan).
Tentative subdivision map (C2): Jupiter Ventures requested modifications to the Monterey Park map to subdivide two parcels into 11 single‑family residential lots, increasing the project’s total unit count from 598 to 609. Staff noted the airport land use commission found the project inconsistent with the airport land use compatibility plan, but recommended adopting the tentative map and overruling that ALUC determination; the council approved the motion 3‑0.
Imperial Apartments rehabilitation (D1): Community Development reported on 10 city‑owned affordable units at 6th & 8th Streets, said the city received $406,000 in PLHA grant funds (with $356,000 remaining) and requested authorization to issue RFPs for kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation and related work. Council approved issuing the RFPs and proceeding with procurement steps (motion carried 3‑0). Staff said some work had been done in‑house previously and that the RFP will ask contractors to describe tenant‑relocation or accommodation plans.
Police policy updates: An unnamed police chief summarized 22 policy updates provided through Lexipol to reflect changes in California law and professional standards; council approved the updates by a 3‑0 vote.
Votes at a glance: All recorded motions during this portion were adopted by roll/voice 3‑0. No roll‑call vote with member names was entered into the transcript for these items.
