Council opens sale process for small city lot at 120 West Santa Fe, sets starting price
Summary
Council approved posting and sealed‑bid sale of a small, non‑buildable lot at 120 West Santa Fe, prioritized adjacent owners, and set a starting price consistent with land‑bank policy (transcript context indicates $250 start).
The council approved initiating the disposition process for a small, non‑buildable city lot at 120 West Santa Fe and set the starting price for sealed bids. Staff said city policy requires a 30‑day prior notice and notification of adjacent property owners; adjacent owners will have priority in the sealed‑bid process.
Staff described the lot as having a 25‑foot frontage, too narrow to support new construction under current frontage requirements. Under the land‑bank policy non‑buildable lots can be offered at a low base price; staff recommended a starting bid of $250. The council moved and seconded the motion and approved it by voice vote.
Staff said the notice would be published in the local newspaper the following week, followed by a 30‑day window for sealed bids. The bids will be opened at a subsequent council meeting and returned to council for action. Staff also indicated that adjacent property owners could submit bids and that sealed bid procedures would determine the award.
