Abandonment and Vacation of Public Right-of-Way (Sycamore Plaza)

The City of Chico Public Works Department is overseeing the Abandonment and Vacation of Public Right-of-Way for Sycamore Plaza in Butte County, California. The project involves abandoning and vacating approximately 3,800 square feet of the public right-of-way located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Eaton Road and Floral Avenue, identified as APN 016-360-116. The primary objectives are to resolve existing encroachments and accommodate commercial development by incorporating this area into the adjacent parcel. The project is managed by Brendan Ottoboni, Director of Public Works Engineering, with Tracy R. Bettencourt serving as the lead agency contact. According to the Notice of Exemption filed on June 8, 2026, the project is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), as it is determined to have no significant environmental impact. Administrative requirements included the payment of a 50 dollar filing fee to the Butte County Clerk.
