Consider adopting the First Reading of an Ordinance to close the alley between Churchton St. and Anderson St. off Pearson St. running about 239 feet.

The City Council is considering an ordinance to close a 239-foot section of alley located between Churchton Street and Anderson Street, off Pearson Avenue. The alley is approximately 40 feet wide and includes the address 1247 Anderson Street. The closure is proposed to benefit adjoining property owners by allowing for development, additional parking, and improved access. The city would retain an easement for any existing utilities within the alley. This ordinance is scheduled for its first reading on March 3, 2026, with the potential to become effective immediately after approval to avoid delaying planned development.
