A RESOLUTION
20-708
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
December 2, 2014
To declare that the District-owned real property, formerly the Stevens School, located at 1050 21st Street, N.W., and known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0876 in Square 0073, is no longer required for public purposes.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the "Stevens School Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2014".
Sec. 2. Findings.
(a) The District is the owner of the real property located at 1050 21st Street, N.W., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0876 in Square 0073 (the "Property"). The Property consists of a building containing approximately 41,800 square feet situated on approximately 30,620 square feet of land.
(b) The Property is no longer required for public purposes because the condition of the vacant building cannot viably accommodate a District agency use or other public use without cost-prohibitive rehabilitation of the historic structure and 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 March 12, 2014, at the Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives located at 1201 17th Street, N.W.
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.
