Summary

Commissioners discussed that proceeds from a cleaned and sold St. Joe's site would return to the landbank, and counsel said the property is currently zoned Business B2; any change to mixed-use or multifamily would require City Council approval.

Commissioner Marty Gallagher told the board that once the St. Joe's property is cleaned up and sold, "the money comes back to the landbank," explaining the landbank would recoup proceeds from disposition. Gallagher asked about current zoning and reuse options as part of planning for future sale or redevelopment.

Attorney Ken Reaser responded that the parcel is zoned Business B2 and that rezoning to mixed use or multifamily would require City Council action. The board recorded that zoning changes, access agreements with the owner, and clarification of the grant scope are among the next procedural steps to enable remediation and eventual sale.
