Statute overview

About this statute

Before the commission approves certain highway projects, the submitting department or regional transportation planning agency must show that reversible lanes were considered. The department may do whatever is necessary to lay out, acquire, and construct parts of a state highway as a freeway, or convert an existing state highway into a freeway. The department generally may not acquire real property for a freeway through a city or county unincorporated area until the required agreement is executed, but there are gift and hardship/protective exceptions. It must give notice of any pre-agreement acquisition. Local officials may authorize certain right-of-way purchases before agreement approval. The city council or board of supervisors must hold a public hearing before entering into the agreement described in Section 100.2. The department may add freeway-related street or highway improvements to Section 100.2 agreements and may do that work as part of freeway construction.

The Department of Transportation [90 - 155.7] ( Heading of Article 3 amended by Stats. 1977, Ch. 579. ) ## 118.6. The department shall, to the greatest extent possible, offer to sell or exchange excess real property within one year from the date that it is determined by the department to be excess. “Excess real property,” for the purposes of this section, means all land and improvements situated outside of calculated highway right-of-way lines not needed or used for highway or other public purposes, including, but not limited to, those leased to public agencies pursuant to Section 104.15, and available for sale or exchange. The department shall adopt rules and regulations to determine which real property outside of calculated right-of-way lines is no longer needed or used for highway or other public purposes, and which is available for sale or exchange. The department is authorized to lease all real property not presently needed or used for highway purposes pending the sale or exchange of such property. Excess real property which consists of lands of notable environmental value, such as, but not limited to, lands of extraordinary scenic beauty, lands fronting on waterway, lakes, and marshes, lands within the boundaries of parks, recreational areas, wildlife preserves or refuges, and lands providing wildlife habitat shall first be offered for sale or exchange to public agencies operating parks and recreational areas as follows: (a) To any park or recreation department of any city within which the land may be situated. (b) To any park or recreation department of the county within which the land is situated. (c) To any regional park authority having jurisdiction within the area in which the land is situated. (d) To the State Resources Agency or any agency which may succeed to its powers. The public agency desiring to purchase such land for park or recreation use shall notify the department within 60 days of its intent to purchase the land after receipt of the department’s notification of intent to sell the land. If the public agency desiring to purchase the land and the department are unable to arrive at a mutually satisfactory sales price for the land during the 60-day period, the land may be disposed of in the normal manner. The failure of the department to first offer excess real property which consists of lands of notable environmental value to public agencies operating parks and recreational areas shall not affect the validity of any conveyance of such excess real property to any person or entity unaware of the failure of the department to do so; however, this shall in no way be construed as releasing the department from its responsibility in offering such property to such public agencies first.

The department shall provide the fiscal and transportation policy committees of the Legislature with at least 30 days prior written notice of the transfer and cooperative agreement, and the amount of any funding in accordance with the transfer and cooperative agreement, to facilitate the Legislature’s review of the transfer.

(C) Any costs, including legal costs, associated with reversion pursuant to this paragraph shall not accrue to the department.

(2) Transfer or use the property for any other purpose than required by permit conditions and mitigation requirements. (3) Subdivide the property.

The department may use special procedures to enter certain contracts for the initial replacement housing program on State Highway Route 105, as determined by the director.

## Streets and Highways Code - SHC ## DIVISION 1. STATE HIGHWAYS [50 - 897] ( Division 1 enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 29. ) ## CHAPTER 1. Administration [50 - 227.1] ( Chapter 1 enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 29. ) ## ARTICLE 3. The Department of Transportation [90 - 155.7] ( Heading of Article 3 amended by Stats. 1977, Ch. 579. ) ## 135.3. The Legislature intends by this act to provide prompt and equitable relocation assistance to low-income individuals and families displaced because of the construction of state highway projects in areas where the market value of real property is economically depressed. The Legislature by establishing a replacement housing program for such individuals and families intends to accomplish this objective of providing housing which is decent, safe, sanitary, and functionally equivalent to the housing eliminated by highway construction. Such replacement housing program shall be coordinated with the relocation advisory assistance provided by the department in accordance with Section 156.5. The Legislature further intends that to the extent the department deems feasible such housing shall be supplied by existing housing, moved housing, and refurbished housing before new replacement housing is constructed on a volume basis. The Legislature finds that the foregoing objectives can best be achieved by enabling low-income persons in economically depressed areas affected by state highway construction to participate in the development and execution of the replacement housing program. Accordingly, when the initial replacement housing program is undertaken for the assistance of persons displaced by the construction of State Highway Route 105 in Los Angeles County, such program shall be conducted in a manner conducive to maximum community participation, thereby assisting in alleviation of excessive unemployment by utilizing local labor and contributing to the development of training programs for unskilled labor. The Legislature further finds that conventional contracting procedures, including competitive bidding, may not be consistent with the attainment of these objectives. Therefore, in carrying out this initial replacement housing program on State Highway Route 105, the department may enter into the contracts contemplated by Section 135.7 pursuant to such procedures as the director determines to be best suited to the achievement of the maximum community participation consistent with the economical completion of the freeway projects. The Legislature further finds and declares that the exemption from competitive bidding authorized by this section is made by reason of the unique nature of the initial replacement housing program on State Highway Route 105, and is not to be considered as establishing a precedent for exempting any other public works construction from competitive bidding and other conventional contracting procedures, nor as in derogation of the fundamental policy of the Legislature that contractors for public works be selected by competitive bidding in order to secure economy of construction and other benefits which accrue to the public by reason of such contracting procedures.
