The Phoenix City Council adopted Resolution 22317 on July 2, 2025, approving the abandonment of an L-shaped alley. This alley connects North 15th Street and East Almeria Road and is adjacent to parcel 172-20-013A. The applicant, Jordan Greenman, sought this abandonment to reconsolidate the alley area back into the neighboring residential landowners' parcels. This action aims to increase the lot size and rear yard setback for these residential properties, addressing nuisance concerns and facilitating trash collection from the north side of the residential areas. The abandonment was conditionally approved by Abandonment Hearing Officer Christopher DePerro. Key stipulations include either relocating all utilities or retaining the right-of-way as a 24-hour public utility easement. Additionally, no right-of-way within 30 feet of monument lines along Almeria Road and 15th Street may be abandoned. The city collected a fee of $23,200 for this abandonment. All stipulations must be fulfilled within two years from the conditional approval date of June 8, 2025, or a new submittal will be required with additional fees. The closure of alley entrances on Almeria Road and 15th Street, with new curb, gutter, and sidewalk, is permitted if approved by the Street Transportation Department.
