HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The real property located at 900 East Jackson Street. This improved parcel currently totals approximately 1.37 acres and is zoned R-1AA.
The subject portion of this parcel is approximately 0.17 acres and is located between the gym and the Unity church. The portion has been used as a parking lot for the church next door for at least the last 50 years due to an overlap issue in deed descriptions.
A representative for the new owners of the church property contacted the City in late 2022 to permanently resolve the issue of use and ownership with an offer to acquire. After some negotiation, the potential buyer has offered $78,912. Staff has determined the offer for the acquisition of the 0.17 acres to be sufficient based on valuation obtained in previous appraisal.
Per Council policy regarding disposition, no historical findings requiring the retention of the parcel were identified, nor is the property waterfront or with a water view. The request for waiver of the pre-disposition mailout to property owners within the 300-ft radius of the subject property is due to the current use of the property remains unchanged.
