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

The City of Chico is proposing to abandon and vacate approximately 3,800 square feet of public right-of-way located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Eaton Road and Floral Avenue, identified by APN 016-360-116, to facilitate commercial development and address existing encroachments. This action will integrate the vacated land into the adjacent private parcel, effectively consolidating the property for improved use and removing regulatory constraints associated with public access. The move is intended to resolve longstanding physical and legal encroachments while enabling more efficient and compliant commercial use of the site. The initiative is formally titled Abandonment and Vacation of Public Right-of-Way (Sycamore Plaza) and was posted as a forecast on June 9, 2026, under the jurisdiction of the City of Chico in California. Tracy R. Bettencourt, Senior Planner, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and can be reached via email or phone. The project is situated within Chico, California, and is linked to the CEQA Net database for public transparency and environmental review purposes. No solicitation number or set-aside designation has been assigned, indicating this is a municipal administrative action rather than a competitive acquisition.
