A RESOLUTION
20-771
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
December 17, 2014
To declare that the District-owned real property located at 125 O Street, S.E. and 1402 1st Street, S.E., known for tax and assessment purposes as a portion of Lot 805 in Square 744S and a portion of Lot 801 in Square 744SS, is no longer required for public purposes.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “125 O Street, S.E. and 1402 1st Street, S.E. Surplus Property Declaration Emergency Resolution of 2014”.
Sec. 2. Findings.
(a) The real property located at 125 O Street, S.E. and 1402 1st Street, S.E., known for tax and assessment purposes as a portion of Lot 805 in Square 744S and a portion of Lot 801 in Square 744SS (“Property”), consists of approximately 235,130 square feet of land, as determined by the Mayor. The Property is currently improved with several low-scale structures and surface parking that are used by DC Water for light industry uses in connection with their fleet services and sewer services operations.
(b) The Property is no longer required for public purposes because the Property’s condition no longer viably accommodates a District agency use or other public use. The most pragmatic solution for activating this space is to relocate the DC Water parking and sewer services operations, declare the Property surplus, and dispose of the Property for redevelopment.
(c) The declaration of the Property as surplus will be conditioned on:
(1) DC Water receiving rights to occupy suitable relocation/replacement property(ies);
(2) Encumbered funding for activities necessary to allow DC Water to relocate to and operate on such relocation/replacement property(ies); and
(3) Approval by an independent engineer procured by DC Water of an operational plan during and after relocation.
(d) Pursuant to 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”), a public hearing was held on November 20, 2014, at the Boilermaker Shops located at 300 Tingey Street, S.E., Unit 140, regarding the finding that the Property is no longer required for public purposes.
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 of the Chief Financial Officer 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.
