Planning Area:
South County Area Plan. Project
Planner: Bob Schubert. Environmental
Status:
Categorically exempt under CEQA Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15305. Project
Description: Determine the consistency of a road vacation with the 1982 General Plan and the South County Area Plan. The
vacation to be considered is that portion of a traveled way within the County
of Monterey generally heading southeast from Nacimiento Lake Drive to the line separating Monterey County and San Luis Obispo County, historically known by a variety of
names but most commonly known as “Old Stage Road” (variously known in the past as, Old El Camino Real, Bee Rock Road, or Old County Road) and established as a County road by the “viewers method” on or about 1874. This is a Public Right-of-Way and the adjoining property owners are Buttle (Assessor’s Parcel Number 424-091-044-000) and Henry (Assessor’s Parcel Number 424-091-049-000). The recommended
action would dispose of 0.74-mile unimproved and unmaintained segment of Old Stage Road pursuant to the request by 20 freeholders in petitions
to the Board of Supervisors. Recommended
Action: Find that the vacation of the
County Road, commonly known as Old Stage Road in the Bradley area of South Monterey County, is not inconsistent with the
Monterey County General Plan and South County Area Plan.
