Okay, so I just wanted to make it clear that one opinion of the Court of Appeal is not simply something that you can cast aside.
It is binding authority.
Thank you.
I'm a homeowner at Casa de Aza.
My concerns, and I'm opposed to vacating and calling this site surplus, is that parking will be worse.
We already have people coming in our parking space.
Nine times is nine times too many for violations like that.
I'm also opposed to this because everything will be
worse it'll be less safe for bicyclists less safe for pedestrians even less safe for cars it'll be congestion and i'm also opposed to the city giving millions of dollars to an entity that doesn't benefit all of the residents it's a private corporation with very limited scope it's not for the benefit
of the citizens of Cupertino.
Hello, Mayor and council members.
My name is Pradeep Bhoj.
I'll move approval of the staff recommended action.
So we are here to consider this vacation pursuant to California Streets and Highway Code Section 8324, which reads, if the legislative body finds from all of the evidence submitted that the street, highway, or public service easement described in the notice of hearing
or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street, highway, or public service easement.
That perhaps sounds like a very strict standard, but let's hear what the Court of Appeal has to say on what exactly this means.
because this is not the first time that someone has argued that the only way that you can vacate a street is if you can demonstrate that nobody ever wants to use it or that there needs to be some particular quantum of evidence that an individual council member can't find.
Under its plain meaning, the word unnecessary connotes something that is not essential or needed for the continuing existence or functioning of something.
Similarly, if something is not needed by the public, this condition means it is not required, which is different from stating that the item is not wanted or desired by individual citizens.
These definitions are consistent with the statutory language, providing that this is the opinion of the legislative body that determines whether a road is no longer needed.
