A RESOLUTION

                                                        

20-597

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

September 23, 2014         

 

 

To declare that the District-owned real property located at 5201 Hayes Street, N.E., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0809 in Square 5197, is no longer required for public purposes.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “5201 Hayes Street, N.E., Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2.  Findings.

(a)  The District is the owner of the real property located at 5201 Hayes Street, N.E., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0809, in Square 5197 (the “Property”), and consists of approximately 93,540 square feet of land.

(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 March 19, 2013, at the H.D. Woodson Senior High School, located at 540 55th 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.
