A RESOLUTION
21-415
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
March 1, 2016
To declare that the District-owned real property located between 1300 and 1100 Alabama Avenue, S.E., and known for tax and assessment purposes as Lots 809, 811, 812, 813, and 823 in Square S-5868, is no longer required for public purposes.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “St. Elizabeths East Campus – Phase I Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2016”.
Sec. 2. Findings.
(a) The District is the owner of the real property located between 1300 and 1100 Alabama Avenue, S.E., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lots 809, 811, 812, 813, and 823 in Square S-5868 (“Property”). The Property consists of approximately 685,918 square feet of land, or approximately 15.72 acres, that includes vacant parcels and historic vacant buildings.
(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 September 19, 2015, at the R.I.S.E Demonstration Center, located at 2730 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, S.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 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.
