Policy Summary

This law lays out the city’s land disposition policy; requires that city-owned real property must be sold or leased at fair market value, with limited exceptions for very small (sub-5000k square feet) or very low-value lots, or property that is otherwise determined to be subject to negotiated sale or lease by the city council (seems to be directed at specific kinds of commercial/residential development.).
