STAFF COMMENTS:
On November 14, 1995, Ordinance//95730 was approved by City Council to abandon Riverchase
Drive. However, upon further inspection of the ordinance it was noted that the abandonment of
Riverchase Drive was to the original property owner Riverchase Joint Venture. Obviously, the
current owner of the property is not Riverchase Joint Venture but Dallas Area Affordable Partners
IV, L.P., a California Limited Partnership. The ordinance before you today is necessary to
supersede the previous ordinance so that Riverchase Drive can be abandon to Dallas Area Affordable
Partners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval X Denial
EXPLANATION:
Staff recommends approval of the abandonment of Riverchase Drive from MacArthur Blvd. west
to its termination and will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
