Title
Adopt Resolutions of Necessity for the Interstate 405 Improvement Project Between State Route 73 and Interstate 605
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority is implementing the Interstate 405 Improvement Project between State Route 73 and Interstate 605. The project requires acquisition of property rights from public and private parties adjacent to the existing freeway and city streets. On May 11, 2015, the Board of Directors approved acquiring right-of-way for the project. At this time, staff has been unable to reach an agreement to purchase required property rights from the subject property owners. It is now necessary for the Board of Directors to exercise its power of eminent domain by adopting resolutions of necessity in order to acquire these necessary property rights to make the properties available to meet the project delivery and construction schedules.
