A RESOLUTION

 

21-213 

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

September 22, 2015

 

To declare that the District-owned real property located at 965 Florida Avenue, N.W., and known for tax and assessment purposes as Parcel 1102 in Square 2873, is no longer required for public purposes.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this

resolution may be cited as the “965 Florida Avenue, N.W., Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. Findings.

(a)  The District is the owner of the real property located at 965 Florida Avenue, N.W., known for tax and assessment purposes as Parcel 1102 in Square 2873 (“Property”). The Property consists of approximately 63,418 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 December 1, 2014, at DCHFA Auditorium, located at 815 Florida Avenue, 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 4a of the General Legislative Procedures Act of 1975, approved October 16, 2006 (120 Stat. 2038; D.C. Official Code § 1-301.47a).

 

            Sec. 6. Effective date.

This resolution shall take effect immediately.
