BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Under Municipal Code, all city property must be declared as surplus prior to the disposition by sale or conveyance of the property. The request to declare property as surplus must be submitted to the Transportation and Capital Improvements, Real Estate Division, then the request and exhibits are sent to departments and municipal utilities that provide services to, or construct infrastructure on the property. The departments and municipal utilities respond if there is a need for the property or if the property may be disposed.
The City of San Antonio purchased 3.14 acres of vacant unimproved tracts of land comprised of 17 residential lots, as part of the Affordable Showcase of Homes Program. All 17 properties are located in southeast San Antonio in the Highland Heights Bluff Subdivision in Council District 3. The program has since been closed and the City has no further need for the properties
ISSUE:
This resolution supports City Council’s authority to declare as surplus and to sell or convey, 17 vacant City-owned properties: 6506 Woodstock Drive, described as NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 38; 4022 Anton Drive, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 2; 4026 Anton Drive, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 1; 4007 Salado Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 4; 6515 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 4; 6519 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 5; 6523 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 6; 6527 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 7; 4002 Salado Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 6, Lot 2; 4003 Adair Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 6, Lot 3; 6727 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 12; 6731 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 13; 6735 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 14; 6751 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 18; 602 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 13; 606 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 20; 615 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 8, Lot 56, in council District 3. Through this action Council authorizes staff to determine the sale price and the future use of the property, once an offer is submitted, and in coordination with Council District 3. Prior to moving forward with the final sale, staff will brief the residing Councilmember.
ALTERNATIVES:
City could choose not to approve the disposition of this City-owned property and not place the property on the tax rolls; however, the City of San Antonio would continue to be responsible for the maintenance of the property. Approval of the disposition would allow the property to be placed on the tax rolls to generate revenue for the City and other taxing entities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Declaring the 17 vacant properties as surplus will not create a fiscal impact until the property is sold, at which time, the proceeds will be deposited into the General Fund. The potential sale of the property will return it to the tax rolls, which will generate revenue for the City of San Antonio as well as other taxing entities

Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing a request for City Council to declare as surplus and to sell or convey 17 vacant City-owned properties: 6506 Woodstock Drive, described as NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 38; 4022 Anton Drive, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 2; 4026 Anton Drive, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 1; 4007 Salado Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 5, Lot 4; 6515 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 4; 6519 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 5; 6523 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 6; 6527 Alsbrook Drive, NCB 13021, Block 4, Lot 7; 4002 Salado Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 6, Lot 2; 4003 Adair Bluff, NCB 13021, Block 6, Lot 3; 6727 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 12; 6731 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 13; 6735 Tehama Gate, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 14; 6751 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 18; 602 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 13; 606 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 9, Lot 20; 615 Kenswick View, NCB 13021, Block 8, Lot 56, in council District 3.
