Summary

Council denied a requested one‑year reverter extension for 1419 Laura Avenue but approved a six‑month extension for 3006 Dunbar Avenue, with a caveat that no further extensions will be granted.

The City Council denied a request to extend the city reverter clause for 1419 Laura Avenue, an infill housing lot previously conveyed in 2021, after staff told council there had been no activity and taxes were past due. Community Development staff recommended denial; Councilmember Watkins Brown moved to deny and the motion carried with no opposition.

On a separate item (3006 Dunbar Avenue), the council considered another request for a one‑year extension. Staff reported a recent permit application had been submitted but not yet issued; after discussion Councilmember Boschek moved for a six‑month extension—setting the new expiration at March 7, 2026—and included a condition that no additional extensions would be allowed. The council approved the limited extension.
