Council holds street‑vacation ordinance for additional detail; map will be added
Summary
Ordinance 26-13 to vacate parts of West 228 and West 229 (I‑480 to Maple Drive) was kept in committee so staff can add clear limits and an exhibit map; the change is intended to consolidate titles and return land for local uses including a community garden.
Staff asked the committee to amend Ordinance 26-13 to include a map and clearer language describing the portion of West 228 and West 229 to be vacated — specifically the stretch from I‑480 to Maple Drive. The change is part of land-consolidation work with ODOT and will return a parcel that is currently a community garden to local control.
Council members asked for a clearer legal description and the map to be included before the ordinance advances; counsel recommended keeping the item in committee to avoid clouding titles during land-consolidation processes. The committee voted 7–0 to return the ordinance to committee and put it on second reading when corrected.
