RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of property rights located adjacent to Imhoff Road in the vicinity of Highway 4 and Interstate 680 (I-680/SR4) Interchange in Martinez to the State of California, Department of Transportation (State), identified in Exhibit “A”, of the Quitclaim Deed (State Parcel No. 63153) attached hereto pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6


FIND that the Real Property transaction between Contra Costa County (County) and the State under the threat of condemnation are ministerial acts and are therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15268.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the conveyance of said property rights are in the public interest and that the interest in the land conveyed will not substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property;

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the Right of Way Contract, on behalf of the County;

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Quitclaim Deed on behalf of the County; and

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Quitclaim Deed to be delivered to the State for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The County acquired the real property in the 1960’s as part of the improvements in connection to the I-680/SR 4 Interchange Project. State requires said portion described in Exhibit A and is now requesting that the County transfer the required portion by application of Section 83 of the Streets and Highways Code as specified in the attached letter dated March 3, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The project will not have sufficient land rights to allow construction in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
