Direct Sale of Two Parcels of County Surplus Real Property, Unincorporated Topanga Canyon Area

The County of Los Angeles is conducting a direct sale of two surplus real property parcels totaling 1.84 acres located at Callon Drive and Penny Road in unincorporated Topanga Canyon, identified as APNs 4442-022-906 and 4442-018-908. These parcels, originally acquired through property tax defaults, are being sold to adjacent property owners rather than through a competitive solicitation. The identified buyers and their respective purchase prices include the Elisabeth Seldes Revocable Trust of 2002 for 30,474 dollars, Jane M. Robbins and Mildred R. Leet for 96,391 dollars, Cheryl D. Lew for 23,206 dollars, and the Kruchen Living Trust Dated 10/01/93 for 4,688 dollars. The sale is subject to several strict land-use restrictions and conditions. Buyers are prohibited from developing habitable structures on the properties and must combine the acquired parcels with their existing adjoining lots in perpetuity. Additionally, the County reserves all mineral rights and retains the right to develop fire breaks on the land in the future. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code sections 21065, 15061(b)(3), and categorical exemption 15312. Administrative oversight is managed by Joyce Chang at the County of Los Angeles Chief Executive Office.
