At the time appointed for the hearing of the petition or resolution, or at such time as the same may be adjourned to by the council, the matter shall be considered and persons desiring to speak for or against the vacation thereof shall be heard. Following such hearing, the council shall determine:

A. Whether a change of use or vacation of the described portion will better serve the public good; or

B. Whether the street, alley or portion thereof is no longer required for public use; or

C. Whether the use thereof as a public way is of such public benefit as not to justify the cost of maintenance; or

D. Whether the substitution of a new and different thoroughfare would be more useful to the public; or

E. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater public use or need than presently exists; and

F. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property (exclusive of petitioners) abutting the same. (Ord. 4654 § 57, 1994. Formerly 20.30L.135.)
