The Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance ratifying the acquisition of property at 9700 South Sepulveda by eminent domain. This acquisition is spearheaded by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for roadway system improvements, a key component of the ongoing LAX Airfield and Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP). The acquired interests include a partial fee simple interest of approximately 2.45 acres, a permanent setback easement of 6,108 square feet, and a temporary 44-month construction easement covering 17,061 square feet (0.39 acres). The Council's decision was based on findings that the acquisition serves a public interest and necessity, with the project's use deemed more critical than the property's current use. Environmental reviews, including an EIR, have been completed, and the acquisition complies with CEQA. The City Attorney is authorized to initiate legal proceedings for eminent domain, and LAWA's Chief Financial Officer is tasked with managing compensation payments. The permanent setback easement restricts structures above 15 feet in height, ensuring clear access for airport operations.
