This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Property to convey fee simple title of five surplus city-owned parcels—2045 and 2054 E. Auburn Street, 2051 E. Rush Street, 518 Pierce Street, and 2315 S. Marshall Street in the First Councilmanic District—to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority for subsequent transfer to the Philadelphia Land Bank under Section 16-405 of the Philadelphia Code. It directs the Redevelopment Authority to execute deeds and deliver clear title on behalf of the city, ensuring these properties are placed in the Land Bank for future disposition. The measure facilitates the official transfer process and codifies the use of land banking procedures for surplus city property. By consolidating these surplus parcels under the Land Bank, the resolution prepares the sites for eventual redevelopment, community stabilization, or sale according to Land Bank guidelines.
