Clearance Review for Disposal of Caltrans Parcel Located at I-5 and Culver Dr

Caltrans District 12 is seeking to decertify a 141,010 square foot parcel of land at the intersection of Interstate 5 and Culver Drive in Irvine, currently burdened by flood control infrastructure owned by the Orange County Flood Control District. The request, submitted to facilitate a land exchange, aims to realign property ownership with the physical location of infrastructure, swapping this parcel with adjacent parcel 72867-1, which is predominantly under Interstate 5 and owned by the Flood Control District. Both agencies agree the swap will improve operational efficiency and land management by ensuring that facilities and property titles are co-located. The action is part of a broader clearance review process under a forecast posted on June 23, 2026, with Carmen Lo, Associate Environmental Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the environmental and procedural aspects of the proposed transfer.
