Oxnard Union High School District to Acquire Nearby Church Property
“The Oxnard Union High School District began Eminent Domain procedures to acquire property owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The property is required for construction of a right-turn lane for the new Rancho Campana High School, scheduled to open in time for the 2015-2016 school year. According to reports, the City of Oxnard set a deadline of June 30, 2014 for the district to acquire the property or begin the eminent domain process. Although the parties are currently engaged in negotiations, the district initiated eminent domain procedures in order to meet the city’s deadline. On June 25, 2014, the school board voted 5-0, adopting a resolution of necessity. Representatives at the district are hopeful that a purchase of the property will be completed in the next few weeks.”
