A RESOLUTION

 

20-527 

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 24, 2014

 

 

To declare as no longer required for public purposes the District-owned real property located at 3825-29 Georgia Avenue, N.W., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0818 in Square 3028.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “3825-29 Georgia Avenue, N.W., Surplus Property Declaration Emergency Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2.  Findings.

(a)  The property located at 3825-29 Georgia Avenue, N.W., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0818, in Square 3028 (the “Property”), consists of approximately 5,757 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)  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)),  a public hearing was held on April 22, 2013, at the Petworth Neighborhood Library located at 4200 Kansas Avenue, N.W., 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 determines that the Property is no longer required for public purposes.

 

Sec. 4. Transmittal .

The Secretary to 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.
