1. The city council shall, after providing notice pursuant to this chapter and Utah Code Annotated section 10-9a-208, make a recommendation to the mayor concerning the request to vacate or alter; and
2. The mayor shall hold a public hearing in accordance with Utah Code Annotated section 10-9a-208 and determine whether good cause exists for the vacation or alteration.
B. If the mayor vacates or alters any portion of a street or alley, the mayor shall ensure that the plat is recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the land is located.
C. The action of the mayor vacating or narrowing a street or alley that has been dedicated to public use shall operate to the extent to which it is vacated or narrowed, upon the effective date of the vacating plat, as a revocation of the acceptance thereof, and the relinquishment of the city's fee therein, but the right of way and easements therein, if any, of any lot owner and the franchise rights of any public utility may not be impaired thereby.
