ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Authorize a land swap between Mrs. Graciela Cabrera who resides at 1, 35th Street South, in Texas City and the Texas City Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC) who owns property located at 2129, 7th Avenue North in the City. The two parties would exchange titles to each other's property.
BACKGROUND
In April of this year, the General Land Office reached out to the TCEDC requesting a land swap between the TCEDC and Mrs. Graciela Cabrera whom currently resides at 1, 35th Street South, in the City. After much consideration, the parcel of property located at 2129, 7th Avenue North (owned by the TCEDC) was determined to be the most suitable residential property agreed upon by Mrs. Cabrera and the General Land Office. Upon execution of the land swap, the General Land Office will build a new home for Mrs. Cabrera through their Home Assistance Program.
ANALYSIS
The proposed land swap is consistent with the practice of removing residential property from the Industrial Business District (IBD) and swapping it out with vacant land owned by the TCEDC outside the IBD. Staff recommends approval of the proposed land swap.
