Summary

Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law authorizes the department to acquire any real property that it considers necessary for state highway purposes. Existing law requires the department to offer to sell or exchange excess real property, as defined, within one year from the date that it is determined by the department to be excess. This bill would authorize the department to sell its excess real property to the city, county, or city and county where the real property is located if the city, county, or city and county agrees to use the real property for the sole purpose of implementing affordable housing, emergency shelters, or feeding programs, as specified. The bill would exempt these sales from the California Environmental Quality Act, except the department would be required to file a notice of exemption with the Office of Planning and Research and the county clerk of the county in which the real property is located.
