West Valley City Council unanimously approves ordinance to vacate Clifford Street
Summary
After a public hearing with no speakers, the council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 25-01 vacating Clifford Street so neighboring property owners can formalize access; the council identified the action as Ordinance 25-01 and passed it without opposition.
The West Valley City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt Ordinance 25-01, vacating Clifford Street so neighboring property owners can formalize access.
The council opened a public hearing on application SV12024 to vacate Clifford Street, described in the staff report as located at 5660 West and 2300 South. The staff report said the street has never been improved and adjacent property owners already use the right-of-way for access. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. After closing the hearing, Council Member Wood moved to approve SV12024 “to vacate all of Clifford Street at [5600/5660] West and north of 2300 South” and the mayor identified the action as Ordinance 25-01. A second was given, the recorder called the roll, and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: vacating an unimproved street formally conveys use or ownership changes and can affect future access, property titles, and maintenance responsibilities for the parcels that abut the former right-of-way.
What the council did: The motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The meeting record shows each council member voting in the affirmative; the mayor declared the motion passed.
Details and clarifications: The staff description in the hearing lists the location as 5660 West and 2300 South; the motion language later references 5600 West. That discrepancy appears in the meeting record and was not resolved on the dais; the exact address reference for the ordinance will be the formal ordinance text filed with the city. The staff memo and ordinance filing should be consulted for the final legal description.
Next steps: The council adopted Ordinance 25-01 at the meeting; the city will publish the ordinance and any implementing actions or recording requirements as required by city code.
Quote attributed to the dais: Council Member Wood moved to approve the vacation application and the recorder completed the roll call; the mayor identified the ordinance as 25-01 and declared the motion passed.
