Council advances second reading to vacate portion of Cedar Street in Charles City
Summary
On second reading the council advanced Ordinance 1193 to vacate an unimproved portion of Cedar Street south of Brighton Circle. The planning and zoning commission recommended the vacation; the council will consider a third reading at the next meeting.
John, a city staff member, presented the second reading of Ordinance 1193, which would vacate an unimproved portion of Cedar Street south of Brighton Circle. He told the council the planning and zoning commission recommended vacating the right-of-way and reminded members the council previously held a public hearing and approved the first reading.
Why it matters: Vacating a street right-of-way can affect adjacent property ownership, future development opportunities and maintenance responsibilities. The planning and zoning commission’s recommendation and prior public hearing are part of the required review steps.
Council action: A council member moved to approve the second reading; the motion was seconded. During roll call one member, Griezmann, recorded an abstention; the remainder recorded affirmative responses and the council advanced the ordinance for a future third reading.
What’s next: The council indicated it will consider a third reading at the next council meeting, at which time the ordinance could be adopted following required procedures.
