Section 10-B2102. OFFERING POLICY

 

2102.1The interest of the District normally is best served when the publicly owned land is disposed of through a competitive public process. Therefore, all land to be disposed of for private reuse (whether residential, commercial, or non-profit) shall normally be offered by a publicly announced competitive bid process, except as provided in §2102.3.

 

2102.2Dispositions for public use (whether to the District government, the federal government, or any other public instrumentality) shall be subject only to the provisions of §§2115 and 2116.1.

 

2102.3The Board may waive its policy of competitive disposition if any of the following conditions exist:

 

(a)If a non-profit sponsor proposes to acquire a site for subsidized residential use or for the development of a community facility;

 

(b)If an existing property owner proposes to acquire an adjacent site to permit the expansion or improvement of the existing business or enterprise conducted on that owner's property;

 

(c)In the case of a HUD-approved sponsor who has qualified, or is in the process of qualifying, for financial assistance under a HUD-administered housing assistance program; or

 

(d)If, in the opinion of the Redevelopment Land Agency Board of Directors, a competitive offering would be unlikely to significantly improve the quality of the development sought for a site.

 

2102.4For purposes of this section, the term "community facility" shall mean any facility which has as its primary purpose the provision of social, recreational, or spiritual services to all or part of the community on a not-for-profit basis.

 

2102.5The Board may waive the requirement for competitive dispositions only by the adoption of a resolution which contains the findings upon which the Board made the waiver.
