The ordinance authorizes the sale of city-owned property located at 9424 S Burnside Avenue to John Sutherland under the Adjacent Neighbors Land Acquisition Program (ANLAP). The property was sold for $1,000, significantly below its appraised value of $10,000, to facilitate its integration into the purchaser’s adjacent residential property. The sale includes covenants requiring the purchaser to maintain and integrate the parcel into their existing property within six months.

Why it Matters

This land sale supports the city's efforts to return underutilized properties to productive use while enhancing neighborhood stability. It provides a cost-effective way for adjacent property owners to expand and maintain their properties.
