IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 26, 2013

 

 

To declare that the District-owned real property located at 903 Franklin Street, N.E., in Washington, D.C., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0829, Square 3841, is no longer required for public purposes.

 

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “903 Franklin Street, N.E., Surplus Property Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

  

Sec. 2. Findings.

(a) The District is the owner of the real property located at 903 Franklin Street, N.E., in Washington, D.C., known for tax and assessment purposes as Lot 0829, Square 3841 (“Property”). The Property consists of a 2-story building containing approximately 3,982 square feet. 

(b) The Property is no longer required for public purposes because the Property is very small, lacks dedicated parking, and in its current condition, necessitates cost-prohibitive renovations to re-use the property for a District agency or other public use in a cost-effective manner on a long-term basis. Additionally, the cost of maintenance required to preserve the building in its current state is likely to continue to increase. Declaring that the Property is no longer required for public purposes and disposing of it by selling it to a third party is the most expedient and cost-effective solution to reactivate the Property by enabling a business owned by a District of Columbia resident to expand, provide new revenue to the District, and remove a blight from the community. 

(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 the required public hearings on October 15 and October 24, 2012.   

 

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 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 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.
