A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM RELATING TO THE ABANDONMENT OR
VACATION OF PUBLIC EASEMENTS OR RIGHTS-OF-WAY
WHEREAS, procedures are provided by law relating to the
abandonment or vacation of public easements or rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, said easements and rights-of-way are valuable
interests in real property; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to provide for
compensation to the City where such easements and rights-of-way
are vacated, abandoned or otherwise conveyed by the City upon the
application of any party.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim that the following policy of the City Council is
hereby adopted:
"It is the policy of the City Council that any applicant
requesting the abandonment or vacation of any easement,
right-of-way or other property interest (collectively referred to
herein as "property interest") by the City shall, as a condition
of approval of any such abandonment or vacation, be required to
compensate the City in an amount equal to the fair market value of
such property interest.
The Real Property Section of the City Engineer's Office
("Senior Real Property Agent") shall be responsible for
recommending the fair market value of any such property interest
and shall provide such information to the City Council and the
applicant prior to any decision by the City Council to vacate or
abandon any such property interest. Final determination of fair
market value shall be made by the City Council except where
otherwise provided by law. If the Senior Real Property Agent, at
his or her sole discretion, determines that an independent
appraisal is advisable, or in any case where the Senior Real
Property Agent finds that the fair market value of such property
interest may exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), he or she
shall order an independent M.A.I. appraisal of such property
interest. The cost of any such appraisal shall be borne by the
applicant and shall be deemed an obligation of the applicant due
and owing to the City.
The requirements of this policy shall not apply to
property interests with a fair market value of less than Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) since, in such cases, the
administrative costs to the City in complying with this policy
would exceed the compensation the City would otherwise receive
hereunder.

Council from waiving all or any portion o£ the compensation
payable to City hereunder, for good cause shown, to the extent
otherwise permitted by law."
