Exempt former motel property from surplus land rules for homeless housing project
In Plain English
The city acquired a former motel at 425 24th Street using state Homekey funding to convert it into 48 affordable apartments for formerly homeless residents. State law normally requires cities to offer surplus property to affordable housing developers first. This exemption allows the city to ground lease the property directly to its chosen developer without that process.
