Under existing law, the owner or owners of property abutting a county road or city street may petition the local governing body to vacate the road or street. The law provides that the voting procedures which apply before the local governing body are the same voting procedures which apply when the local governing body proposes to vacate a road or street. This law also requires that, in the case of a county road, the county commissioner in whose district the road is located is required to make the motion to vacate the road.
This bill would specify that when the members of a family who own the abutting property on both sides of a county road or portion of a county road petition the county commission to vacate the county road or portion of the county road, any member of the county commission may make the motion to approve the petition and vacate the road or portion of the road.
