Upon receipt of the staff report from the city, the city council shall pass a resolution calling for a public hearing to consider the proposed vacation, which hearing shall be not more than 60 days nor less than 20 days after the date of passage of such resolution. The city clerk shall give 20 days’ notice of the pendency of the petition by written notice posted in three of the most public places in the city, and a like notice in a conspicuous place on the right-of-way sought to be vacated. The notice shall contain a statement that a petition has been filed to vacate the right-of-way described in the notice, together with a statement of the time and place fixed for the hearing thereon.

In all cases where the proceeding is initiated by resolution of the city without a petition having been signed by the owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting upon the right-of-way to be vacated, in addition to the notice hereinabove required, there shall be given by mail at least 15 days before the date fixed for the hearing, a similar notice to the owners or reputed owners of all lots, tracts, or parcels of land or other property abutting upon any right-of-way sought to be vacated, as shown on the rolls of the county treasurer, directed to the address thereon shown. If 50 percent of abutting property owners file written objection to the proposed vacation with the clerk prior to the time of hearing, the city shall be prohibited from proceeding with the resolution. (Ord. 6085 § 1, 2007; Ord. 5212 § 1 (Exh. G), 1999; 1957 code § 8.24.070.)
