12.12.130 Limitation on vacations of streets abutting bodies of water.
If the street or alley to be vacated, or any portion of the street or alley to be vacated, abuts a body of fresh or salt water, the City shall not vacate such street or alley unless the following additional criteria and the requirements are met:
A. The vacation is sought to enable the City to acquire the property for port purposes, beach or water access purposes, boat moorage or launching sites, park, public view, recreation, or educational purposes, or other public uses;
B. The City, by resolution, declares that the street or alley is not presently being used as a street or alley and that the street or alley is not suitable for any of the following purposes: port, beach or water access, boat moorage, launching sites, park, public view, recreation, or education; or
C. The vacation is sought to enable the City to implement a plan, adopted by resolution or ordinance, that provides comparable or improved public access to the same shoreline area to which the streets or alleys sought to be vacated abut, had the properties included in the plan not been vacated.
