WHEREAS, as part of the Sunset Area Community Planned Action adopted by the City in
2011, the Parcel was designated as intended for alley use and as a green connection, but the
Parcel has to date not been formally designated as anything other than a "public use area;" and
WHEREAS, formally designating the Parcel as a "public alley" after conducting a duly-
noticed public hearing would be consistent with the Parcel's "public use area" designation

currently utilize the Parcel for vehicular access, allow future developments abutting the Parcel to
be alley-accessed, and provide due process to those with property interests at issue; and
