BACKGROUND When GLENFED was designing its development located easterly of Citrus and northerly of Hillside Drive, they incorporated open space lots. The City conditioned these open space lots as private. When the map was recorded, these open space lots were irrevocably offered for dedication to the City. The City did not acknowledge this offer on the final map. The offer is still open and final action should be taken to terminate the offer of dedication.

This procedure does not require a hearing and is accomplished with one resolution. The City Attorney has approved as to form a resolution approving the summary vacation of the irrevocable offer of dedication.
