GENERAL SERVICES - ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE KEYS PLACE IN THE NORTH COUNTY METRO COMMUNITY PLAN AREA AND CEQA DETERMINATION (VAC 2018-0269)

The County of San Diego is seeking to formally vacate Keys Place, a 0.64-acre public right-of-way located in the North County Metro Community Plan Area, within the unincorporated area of San Diego, California. This action is administrative in nature and does not involve procurement of goods or services; rather, it is a legal process to remove a public easement that no longer serves a public transportation function, as the road is not part of the County’s General Plan Mobility Element and exists solely to provide private property access. The proposed vacation is justified under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with a determination that the action qualifies for a categorical exemption under Sections 15060(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines due to the absence of any reasonably foreseeable environmental impact. Compliance with CEQA mandates the filing of a Notice of Exemption with the County Recorder, a mandatory 30-day public posting period, and retention of records for nine months, all of which have been initiated in accordance with state procedural requirements. No federal procurement mechanisms, contract types, pricing, or FAR-based clauses are applicable, as this is a local land use decision executed by the County’s Department of General Services under state authority. The project, identified as VAC 2018-0269, was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on October 22, 2025, and the associated CEQA documentation is filed through the State Clearinghouse portal and physically submitted to the County Recorder’s office. Emily Roberts, Environmental Planning Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for administrative inquiries, with support from the Environmental Services Unit. There is no contract value, no solicitation number, no line-item pricing, and no contractor involved, as the action relies solely on statutory authority to vacate surplus right-of-way. The process is self-contained within county government operations, requiring no external vendors, special certifications, delivery schedules, or federal oversight. The sole deliverable is the adoption of a resolution by the Board of Supervisors, which, upon approval, legally extinguishes the public easement and clears the title to facilitate private land development. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, payment terms, or corporate representations are relevant, as this is not a procurement but an environmental and land use administrative proceeding governed entirely by California law.
