BACKGROUND
The applicant for this right of way vacation is redeveloping the existing housing

be completing the redevelopment of the site in phases with each new phase dedicating
new roadways to service the area. The new streets will provide better overall operating
characteristics for the area and superior function to the existing roadways.

HEARING CONSIDERA liONS
BMC 11.20.120 sets forth issues that the City Council needs to determine at the
