A. If any portion of the land contained in the subdivision was dedicated to the public for public use or benefit, such land, if not deeded to the city, shall be deeded to the city unless the director shall set forth findings that the public use would not be served in retaining title to those lands.

B. Title to the vacated property shall vest with the rightful owner as shown in the county records. If the vacated land is land that was dedicated to the public, for public use other than a road or street, and the director has found that retaining title to the land is not in the public interest, title thereto shall vest with the person or persons owning the property on each side thereof, as determined by the director. When the road or street that is to be vacated was contained wholly within the subdivision and is part of the boundary of the subdivision, title to the vacated road or street shall vest with the owner or owners of property contained within the vacated subdivision.

C. If it is necessary to retain an easement through any portion of vacated property, the easements shall be properly executed and recorded concurrent with the ordinance approving the vacation. (Ord. 6654 § 8, 2017; Ord. 6239 § 1, 2009; Ord. 4296 § 2, 1988. Formerly 17.20.040.)
