20-704

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

December 2, 2014         

 

 

To declare that the District-owned real property located at 2501 1^st Street, N.W., formerly the McMillan Sand Filtration Site, is no longer required for public purposes.

 

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “McMillan Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2.  Findings.                                 

(a) The District is the owner of the real property located at 2501 1^st Street, N.W., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0800 in Square 3128 (“McMillan site”). The McMillan site consists of approximately 1,075,496 square feet of land, of which approximately 453,614 square feet of land will be reserved by the District for a community center, open space, parks, and landscaped areas, as determined by the Mayor. The remaining 621,882 square feet of land (“Property”) are the subject of this resolution.

(b) The Property is no longer required for public purposes because the Property’s condition cannot viably accommodate a District agency use or other public use without cost prohibitive new construction.  The most pragmatic solution for reactivating this space is to declare the Property surplus and dispose of the Property for redevelopment.

(c) The District has satisfied the public hearing requirements of section 1(a-1)(4) of An Act Authorizing the sale of certain real estate in the District of Columbia no longer required for public purposes, approved August 5, 1939 (53 Stat. 1211; D.C. Official Code 10-801(a-1)(4)) (“Act”), by holding a public hearing on June 6, 2013, at the All Nations Baptist Church located at 2001 North Capitol Street, N.E.

 

Sec. 3. Pursuant to section 1(a-1) of the Act, the Council finds that the Property is no longer required for public purposes.

 

Sec. 4. Transmittal.

The Council shall transmit a copy of this resolution, upon its adoption, to the Mayor.

 

 

 

Sec. 5. Fiscal impact statement.

The Council adopts the fiscal impact statement in the committee report as the fiscal impact statement required by section 602(c)(3) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 813; D.C. Official Code § 1‑206.02(c)(3)).

 

Sec. 6. Effective date.

This resolution shall take effect immediately.
