Subject: An Ordinance amending Chapter 55 of the City Code to enhance the alternative alley closure and
vacation procedure.
Purpose of Item:
An Ordinance amending Chapter 55 of the City Code to enhance the alternative alley closure and
vacation procedure by relaxing certain restrictions to allow additional unimproved alleys to qualify for
closure and vacation using the alternative procedure.
Background Information:
On December 19, 2003, Chapter 55 of the City Code was amended to provide a simplified method for
the closure and vacation of public and private alleys located within single family and duplex
residential neighborhoods. That procedure currently requires that the alley to be closed and vacated
be located entirely within the single family and duplex zoning district. This restriction has
disqualified certain alleys that are located between single family/duplex'zoning districts and more
intense zoning districts. In the case of unimproved alleys (alleys which have never been improved
and remain in their natural state) that have been disqualified and do not provide service access to the
more intense zoning side of the alley, the current zoning district restriction is inconsistent with the
pattern of alley vacation and closures throughout the remainder of the residential neighborhood and
unfair to those single family/duplex residents abutting the opposite side of the alley. The proposed
Ordinance will relax the zoning district restriction to allow those unimproved alleys abutting on one
side of a more intense zoning district to qualify for closure and vacation utilizing the alternative
procedure.
