Beech St Public Right-of-Way (ROW) Vacation/ PRJ-1090972

The City of San Diego is facilitating the legal vacation of a 0.070-acre public right-of-way known as Beech Street, a paper street located between 1504 Parrot Street and 3698 Cactus View Drive in the City Heights Community Plan Area within the RS-1-7 residential zone. This action terminates municipal ownership of the unused street and transfers the land to adjacent private property owners as part of an in-fill development project. The project has been determined to qualify for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15332, which applies to in-fill development that is consistent with the general plan and zoning regulations and does not result in significant environmental impacts. A Notice of Exemption was signed on September 29, 2025, and filed with the San Diego County Clerk on October 2, 2025, under File #2025-000837, concluding the environmental review process. The applicant, Michael Walsh, submitted the necessary documentation and paid a total of $100 in administrative fees, including a $50 County Documentary Handling Fee and a $50 Fish & Wildlife Administrative Fee. The City of San Diego Development Services Department serves as the lead agency, with Courtney Holowach, Senior Planner, identified as the primary point of contact for coordination and approval. No federal contract mechanisms, procurement clauses, payment systems, or acquisition requirements are applicable, as this is solely a local land use and environmental compliance matter under state law, with no federal funding, contracting, or regulatory oversight involved.
