Adopt policy for selling city land to create affordable housing
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no clear rules for what to do with surplus city property. The new policy prioritizes selling or leasing city land at below-market prices to developers who build affordable housing. State law already requires cities to consider affordable housing when disposing of public land.
