GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE A PORTION OF AN UNNAMED ALLEY IN THE FALLBROOK COMMUNITY PLAN AREA AND CEQA FINDING (VAC 2023-0205)

The County of San Diego is taking administrative action to vacate an unnamed alley located between West Fig Street and West Elder Street, and Mission Road and Pico Avenue in the unincorporated community of Fallbrook. This action is classified as ministerial under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the alley is deemed excess right-of-way, not required for current or future public use, not improved, not maintained by the county, and not part of the Mobility Element Roadway. The project does not involve any physical construction, environmental alteration, or procurement of goods or services. The sole deliverable is the adoption of a formal resolution by the Board of Supervisors to vacate the easement, accompanied by a CEQA exemption finding under Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and (c)(3), which confirm the action results in no direct or indirect physical change to the environment and is not considered a project under CEQA. The project was approved on August 27, 2025, with the Notice of Exemption filed with the County Recorder and documented on the CEQAnet system under solicitation VAC2023-0205. The procurement is not a traditional contract with pricing, delivery terms, or contractor performance obligations; it is a land-use administrative process requiring no financial expenditure, line items, or contracting officer oversight. There is no identified contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative, and no standard federal acquisition regulation clauses apply. The County of San Diego Department of General Services, Real Estate Service Division, acts as the applicant and managing agency, with Emily Roberts, Environmental Planning Manager, serving as the primary point of contact. Submission of the exemption notice required both physical delivery to the County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk and electronic filing through the CEQAsubmit portal by the August 27, 2025 deadline. No attachments, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or offeror certifications are involved, as the process is entirely regulatory and administrative in nature, focused solely on legal closure of an unused public easement under state environmental law.
