Department of Transportation: transfer of vacant property.

Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has full possession and control of all state highways and associated property. Existing law requires the department to offer to sell or exchange certain excess real property that consists of lands of notable environmental value to various public agencies for park purposes prior to disposing of the property. This bill would require the department to transfer certain vacant real property in the City of Los Angeles to that city for park purposes, subject to various terms and conditions. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute.
