Sale Of Portions of APN 0459-053-55 And Acquisition of an Access Easement Over APN 0459-053-56 Related to the US-395 And Auburn Avenue Project in the City of Ad

The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is proposing to sell two small portions of its fee-owned property, Assessor Parcel Number 0459-053-55, which are no longer needed for flood control operations, as part of a real estate transaction tied to the US-395 & Auburn Avenue Project in Adelanto, California. In exchange, the District will acquire a non-exclusive easement across the adjacent private parcel, Assessor Parcel Number 0459-053-56, to secure perpetual maintenance access to its existing flood control facilities. This exchange supports the broader commercial development of the Auburn Travel Center, which includes fuel stations, restaurants, a convenience store, truck parking, and related infrastructure, without increasing the project’s physical or environmental footprint on county-owned flood control land. The transaction ensures the District retains operational access while enabling private development to proceed in coordination with regional transportation improvements. The effort is being managed by the County’s Department of Public Works, with Arlene B Chun as the primary point of contact for engineering and environmental management, and Noel Castillo as the overseeing Director. The action is forecasted for posting on June 24, 2026, and is intended to align with the larger infrastructure goals of the US-395 & Auburn Avenue Project, facilitating efficient land use and minimizing disruptions to flood control functions. The easement will formally document the District’s right to access and maintain its infrastructure on the neighboring property, ensuring compliance with operational needs while allowing the private development to move forward under the same land-use framework.
