Roadway Abandonment No. 2026-01

San Joaquin Valley Homes has requested the abandonment of approximately 8,145 square feet of right-of-way along Millerton Street in Hanford, California, a portion of which remains undeveloped. The City of Hanford is evaluating this request through a formal finding of conformity, which assesses whether the abandonment aligns with applicable land use and infrastructure planning standards. Concurrently, the city is addressing an ambiguity in the zoning and land use designation for the property once the roadway is formally discontinued, ensuring clarity for future development or ownership rights. The process involves coordination between the applicant and city departments, with key personnel from Development Services, Planning, and the Deputy City Manager’s office overseeing review and approval. The request is currently in the pre-award phase, posted as a forecast with a published date of July 6, 2026, indicating that the formal approval process is pending but actively being prepared. While no solicitation number or NAICS code applies, the action is administrative and regulatory in nature, focused on land use adjustment rather than procurement. Primary points of contact include Diana Black and Gabrielle Myers from the City of Hanford, alongside Nic Peters from San Joaquin Valley Homes, who is managing the entitlements and acquisition aspects. The official record and further details are accessible through the California CEQA Net portal, and any final decision will affect the legal status and future use of the abandoned parcel, with implications for adjacent properties and municipal planning boundaries.
